Hate to see anyone go in the ditch! hope everyone is O.K. It did look like it was going to be slippery on the weather channel.

Re: A Dark Day on the Tail of the Dragon!
Sounds like you are ok, hope that is true. Man, I can't believe how many Xfires have been wrecked lately! SRTs are dropping like flies too!
Well, on an up note, it looks like it's mostly cosmetic due to the somewhat soft earth. Definitely got a mouth full of dirt!

Hope that you and Mrs Fox are OK. Looks like a bad case of oversteer in the wet? On a more positive note the damage doesn't look too bad, did the airbags deploy?

Re: A Dark Day on the Tail of the Dragon!
Sad news indeed. Hope it only affected the machine and nothing else.
Judging by the yellow line on the picture, it looks like maybe there was some kind of slide right at a turn, perhaps caused by the wet weather. There really should be a way to warn drivers about things like that if possible, but perhaps it was too new.
Please keep us posted. Hope all else is well.

Re: A Dark Day on the Tail of the Dragon!
wow, sorry to see that. The weather has been terrible for days. I hope it all works out.
In a way, I'm kinda glad I didn't come down. The weather would have ruined the whole trip for me...

Re: A Dark Day on the Tail of the Dragon!
So that's what my roadster will look like after my kid drives it. SAD!
Mine is the same color sans the dirt.
Just a note, if you did that in the national park, be sure and return the dirt. They frown on poaching anything out of there.
