This happened last August and if it wasn`t for Arien ( Mud ) this picture would still not be online. This happened at Cleghorn on the last challenge before you get to Hwy 138. After about 1 1/2 hours of trying to flip it back on its wheels with no luck we were about to abandon it and walk down to the Hwy for help ( it was already over 100 degrees out ) I jumped into it to get my keys and wallet and figured I would see if it would start for thr hell of it and it did. I told everyone to get away and I turned the steering wheel to the left as hard as I could and hit the gas. It fell over on its wheels. I had to jam it in park since I was now laying on the seat and couldn`t get to the brake. Boy did it smoke bad for about 20 minutes. We drove down thr rest of that crappy side challenge and out to the hwy where I aired up and drove home. It didn`t even knock the wheels out of alignment. I broke the mirror and crunched the front and rear fenders and the roof above my door. I fixed all the damage myself and besides the paint not matching perfectly you would never know it did this. I have since then put on a bunch of upgrades but I figured you would all like to see this picture. Its a good way to get a conversation going. Image
