Learn from my bonehead mistake
:Last week I had gone to a storage lot for work and parked right in front of a barricade. A few hours later I was in a hurry to leave and the exit happened to be right in front of me. I was too close to the barricade to see it from the driver seat and lost situational awareness, so I decided to drive straight to the exit, forgetting about the barricade in my way.
By the time I realized something wasn't right, my front had already popped up on top of the barricade and then slammed down, grinding on my skid plates. I ended up high centered and called a tow truck to help get it recovered. After it was pulled off, the only problem was the exhaust crossover would ground out on the bent trans skid at high RPMs. A new trans skid and a few coats of paint later, no one will be the wiser.
