Smashed the max... Stillen Survives :)

Hey yall. Last Night (friday night). I was goin about 50 around a left in IL.
It's flat plain so you can obviously see what's coming around the next turns.
Go to make a Hard Left. Back Slides Completely in front, Brakes are already on.
Let off brakes and tapped gas to correct over steer. Nope Power Slide side-ways approx 30 ft into the opposite side of the road IN a Ditch.
Huge Ditch. The Front wheels were Hanging off the ground. The Entire front Bumper and Stillen Kit was smashed into the soft Cultivation Ditch. (corn field's)
I couldn't see my Stillen Urethane kit at all. the Bumper was just moshed~. Both fenders seem to be Toasted, they're bent at the wheel edges.

Cop's came, They just wanted to BS about how great the car is coming along...

Tow truck came in 30mins. Winched me out. Got IN Started. Runs Perfect.
Stillen kit is nearly flawless as well. I bent it back to shape as i talked with the police about the car for 30 mins or so. Left side was about 10" higher but everything went back to shape fine. Bumper cover was broke in half.

Drive safe, wear the seatbelt guys, it saved me.

Gotta love those IL corn fields Glad you're safe. Is insurance covering it or you're on your own?

A field accident happened to someone else a few weeks ago. He said that the field people didn't keep the road clean and all that crap caused his Max to crash or something like that
