Default Drove thru the desert St. Patty's Day

Ok, So Saturday i was on this little road and a Javalina walked in front of me. So i ended up avoiding the damm pig and drove over a couple bushes and a Ocotillo plant. I went back to where i avoided the pig the next day and missed a couple Barrel cactus, a Saguaro and a Palo Verde Tree. It could have been very bad. Also there were huge rocks that i missed by about 2 inchs. I couldn't find my cord to hook up my camera, but once i find it i'll post photos. It really sux.

Does anyone know of where to get some cheap OEM fenders? AWE makes CF fenders for the B5, does anyone know where i could get ones for the B6? I'll wait and drive around with the screwed up fender if i know i can get those later.

don't bother with the cf ones, they cost a fortune and only save about 6 pounds.

that skid plate is awsome...

So CF fenders are a waste of money? Does anyone know where to get cheap fenders?

I ran over a Creosote Bush, took out an Ocotillo tree and a couple other small bushes....

I'll post pics of the wreck and wreck site tonight when i get home
