You can fault the handling, but not the View!
Title:  You can fault the handling, but not the View!
Description:  On November 9 I took advantage of what was likely our last day of really nice weather for the season and found this sweet little mishap on the GW at Kelim.. -It was not until later during the photo edit that I noticed; 1. "Hey, there's damage on this car!" 2. "Hey, there's a full blown Elk under the tree!!" -turns out the Elk is auctually a well placed sculpture on somebody's well heeled bit of pasture. The Rocky Mountain backdrop though, Colorado awesome!! -That's 14,000+ foot Long's Peak back there!

Description:  1 bitterly cold week later I stopped by and got this detailed view of the damaged car. Seems the B end/gear was quite literally ripped out..now that musta' hurt!! I will guess this car is still new enough to be repaired, likely at GW expense..{ouch!}!!
