It rained last night and this morning which leaves the ground nice and moist. I took my car to my fiances parents yard they about an an acre block with a few trees and one particulat post in the middle :/ I started leaning the engine a little to see if it would go any faster and boy did it ever. After about 10min of driving i managed to wrap it around that post lol. http://www.users.on.net/~annecarl/IMG_3382.jpg http://www.users.on.net/~annecarl/IMG_3383.jpg http://www.users.on.net/~annecarl/IMG_3384.jpg http://www.users.on.net/~annecarl/IMG_3385.jpg http://www.users.on.net/~annecarl/IMG_3386.jpg i havent worked out exactly how many parts i broke but from what i can see the lower suspension arm snapped in half, some peice of metal which is not part of the main chasis and a few other plastic parts there should be a cheap fix. > It rained last night and this morning which leaves the ground nice and > moist.

Good job! Yer' first real FUBAR! That won't be the last run in you have with that pole I reckon. The two major wrecks I've had with my Savage were both at the hands of a huge pine tree at the side of my yard; you'd think I'd of learned my lesson the first time! Looks like you nailed: Upper a-arm Lower a-arm bulkhead bulkhead brace (metal) a-arm hinge pins dogbone/cvd (looks bent) Nice!

See? Now a crawler would have ended up climbing the pole with no damage done.

SignatureJustin Mahn Watch out, you might have one of those "magnetic posts". I have one out front, , ,seems to only attract what I am driving. Anyone else driving around there has no problems, , ,I have to make a point of driving around it, else it's magical powers seem to draw the truck/buggy right to it. >It rained last night and this morning which leaves the ground nice and >moist.
