Jon, i can totally sympathize. I got thru it w less damage than u did. just be thankful that the end of the season is upon us so u can fix the arm and not lose excellent driving weather in the process.

I have a hunch that part of the explanation for the accident involves the leaves on the road. Damage seems very minor, fortunately.

Ouch....Hope everyone is OK as the car can be fixed. Looks like the sign actually helped in preventing more damage by lifting and stopping the car.

I guess you where wishing for maybe five more feet to get stopped from the looks of the incident.

You got it, Kitcat, it was wet leaves that caused me to leave the road. That and the 10% downgrade and the tight 90* curve. Like ice. The other 99.99% of the road surfaces were dry and leaf free. This road was barely traveled and accumulated piles of leaves. While extracting the car, a pickup truck lost all forward motion, spinning his tires, trying to climb the hill.

 

Ironicly, I am attracted to this type of road. The previous part of the blat was great. If you're interested, more details can be found at: http://www.locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1503&p=78919#p78919
