Angry Looks like the car will be down again...

I was on my way back to beach st. on 820 comeing from bluemound exit... and there was a truck that had hit a median head on and caused big *** pieces of wood into the street.... well a cop was going after someone and kinda knicked it a little which made it spin my way... I could even see it coming, it hit so hard and got stuck between the a arm and the wheel and ground...I was slowing down from a high speed.. so im guessing i was going about 65-70mph... i thought the wheel had broke off because I couldnt stear into the shoulder so yea... front runner is fucked, its bent to hell.... my fender is trashed pretty bad.... good thing a friend was passin by from another board and loaned me a jack and spare.. it was kinda scary usein it with the lugnuts from the prostars but ah it worked out fine... we drove from beach all the way to about the crowley area going about 30 mph it took about an hour to get here... i got pics ill post them up tomorrow .. this sucks !!!!

Oh man, sorry to hear. Thats a shame, my girl had something similar happen to her WS6. She was behind a fire truck and a huge hose fitting fell off the back of her truck and bounced up and took a huge chunk out of her air dam.

Good luck fixing it.
