Good eyes....that was Surfside.
The Jeep is in Hell Paso at AD Towing & Recovery. Those retards told me it was state law. Whatever....I understand, but Jezusssssss...it seemed like they enjoyed saying NO!

Sorry to hear about your ride. Too bad you can't get it in SBlue anymore...double shame.
Glad to hear that you're alright though. Interested to see how the rig held (or didn't) in that kind of fall.

It did not hold up very well...10mph off a 12 foot straight down drop right on the nose settling on the right side...and it looks like Megatron wiped his butt with it (Yes a geeky Transformers reference, but my kids made me watch it and it was AWESOME!). The Jeep was bent like a taco and lopsided on the frame....UGLY! You will see in the pics tomorrow...

<this sucks>
Ok....here are the LONG AWAITED pics...pay close attention to the door seam gaps. There isn't a panel that isn't creased or dented. The ENTIRE Jeep is lopsided to the left - notice right rear tire versus left in relation to the body. Plus the Jeep from front to back is slightly shaped like a boomerang, but you can't see how bad it really is in the pics. The airbags did not deploy and the entire roll cage has been pushed back. In the motor compartment, the braking regulator was pushed into the master cylinder and the steering box was pushed into the serpentine belts fubaring up the motor.
I won't go into specifics until I chat with my insurance company, but it fell off the pictured roughly 10 foot high cliff at about 10mph (if that). The picture beside the cliff was taken at eye level and I am 6'1". The jeep hit square on the nose and the pivoted landing on the right side. The crash was really not that bad, I have had worse impacts bumping into fat people at WalMart. I am guessing that this damage is just due to the weight of the vehicle....

Sorry to hear about your wreck.
The Jeep did take a beating from MEGATRON.
Look at the bright side....you and the occupants DON'T look like you just got beaten by MEGATRON.
I am glad the Jeep did it's job by keeping you and your occupants safe and took the beating for you!
Hope everything works out well with the insurance & the adjustor. Looks to me it could be written off!
BTW....Transformers is a cool movie!!!
