The oil sprayed out all the way back to the rear bumper where I had to trow the dirt onto. There's some minor cosmetic damage back there...but think of it as character haha. Other than that, the car appears to be solid and we'll be back with a nice little AMS 2.2L and 850R action real soon! Again thanks for all the support, I'll post a bunch more once I have more time this week.

And Matthew...Mumphrey made it out unharmed hahaha!
(murphy is his horse/copilot :P )




Good luck Ryan!
