    Got ran off the road. A ditch and a concrete drain tunnel later and this is the result. A couple stitches in the head and a dislocated shoulder blade. Drive train is still good. Looking for a donor body to drop everything in. Thank god for the old days of all steel. Kept me safe and took most of the force.

    What a shame! We can't afford to lose Maverick/Comet people or their cars. We could have lost both. Good to hear you are not permanently damaged like your Maverick!

    What a shame, Ryan. I was looking forward to meeting you and seeing your car. At least you are ok. Cars can be replaced.

    Thanks everyone. The car can be replaced. Going to look at a 72 roller tomorrow. Hopefully it will be worth saving and can eventually drop my drive train in it after doing whatever repair work is needed to the body.
