Default Got my first scratch

No pics. Sorry.
But as I was commuting in this morning the traffic became a nightmare.
Seems like everyone in OKC was going to this....

For 49 bucks you could send your entire office...and many people did.

So traffic was at a standstill. So as I have offroad ability I dived into the first right hand I could get to over the curb. I knew the area was a railroad yard and closed to through traffic. I drove to the back of the area and found the debris field to keep out the through traffic.

So I look at it and it's just a few concrete chunks a couple of railroad rails. No car could get across that. But I was undetered. I proceeded to climb the concrete and noticed the departure was going to be close as it was a pretty good drop.

And drop it did. I scraped the back left quarter panel on the bottom. Just a scratch and some roughed up plastic.

Over all I was really impressed with the clearance and it got me to work only 45 minutes late instead of 1.5 hours.

I'll try to go back down there and get some pics.
