Slam dancin' Muggy ((with pics))
My Muggy's been faithful for many, many months....but today she betrayed me and took off on her own...at 40 mph diagonally into a street curb to make a graceful arc 15 feet in the air over a parked car and destroying her front end in the process. Oh the humanity.
Looks like I'll be very busy this winter with allen wrenches and screwdrivers.

The aluminum chassis plate can be beaten back into shape, but you probably broke the chassis rails, too. Now is the perfect opportunity to upgrade to RPM a-arms. Check your motormount brace, too.
