You know the thread you started on the forum whose name must not be uttered and was subsequently "disappeared" by the overlords of the same unmentionable site.
It's still in the shop with an ETA of late next week. Nationwide has been awesome, and AAA accepted full responsibility on behalf of their client. Ms. Schnell is nearly back to 100% as well. I was leery about getting it repaired, but the damage was largely superficial, and the collision shop has been very thorough thus far.

Thanks for asking!

Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

It was like reading part of a book and having some power hungry butthead steal it when you weren't looking.

Glad its being taken care of and the wife is recovering.

When you tip, remember to cross your arms and grab your seat belts. It's not pretty when an arm gets pinned between a red rock and a roll cage. That's a beautiful jeep, by the way, but, when you tip...

Scariest ride of my life was in a Jeep. No seat belts. Going vertical. Driver laughing his ass off at me.

Jeeps and idiots never mix. Therefore, don't let idiots drive your Jeep. ha! :lol:

Our "new" Jeep has now been in collision repairs for 1/6 the time we've owned it.

But it'll be ready by the end of the week.

Not holding my breath.

That almost looks like AZ terrain Mike. If you can stomach the 7 hour drive in that jeep, there are some awesome off road trails in AZ that end with bars.

Examples are desert bar, Crown King, Apache Trail.
