I wasn't paying close enough attention. I saw the cast bell housing with the open bottom and just presumed it was your 80. Didn't even notice the servo and cooler line locations. Bad situation none the less. My little brother was worried about a few of the manholes with his lowered C5.

hey jonathan thanks for posting my pain around the interweb. here is the car and the owner(bubba) driving it on our way to ocean springs on friday morning


i was driving it around friday night and went to turn off 90 going to pass rd to get around some of the traffic and back to the hotel. when i cut between the Treasure bay and a waffle house i saw a manhole cover sticking up(for those of you that dont know they still have not fixed all of the roads on the coast). i tried to dodge it but nailed that MF head on.
