    sorry no pics... i was driving home last night and went to corner and hit some black ice and slammed right into the curb. let me rephrase that... my car was Grave Digger and the curb was a car...lol. totally jacked the right front of my suspension. no body damage or leaky fluids but i am gonna need a new control arm, sway bar and the links as well as a new ball joint. my rim and tire are dead and jammed into my fender. according to the local shop... over $1000 in repairs... yeah no. im goin to a salvage yard and doin it myself. considering the situation i got off light. thanks santa...lol. ugh... worse weekend so far...
