Ironic. But I just had a similar situation on Sunday. Coming out of a right-hander and apparantly got on it too hard. Anyway, ended up facing the other direction in a corn field. Luckily it wasn't much of a drop off the road. It was however enough to do similar damage to the front bumper of my car. Fortunately we didn't hit anything. The damage was caused when the car slid off the road and the bumper hit the ground first. I was able to drive out of the field and get the car home. We weren't far from home. Haven't got the damage totally assesed yet, but the bumper is shot, broke the oil cooler or just snapped a line. I lost all the oil. I still had pressure when I pulled in the garage. I don't think the radiator is damaged. Luckily my wife and I were also uninjured. I just posted a topic about getting a new bumper from anywhere other than a Dodge dealer. Sticker shock. $11,300 just for the bumper. I called two different dealers just to be sure. If you know of any info about that bumper that I don't, please let me know. Feel free to e-mail me personally. Glad to hear you made it through okay also. Take care.

Sorry to hear about each of your events.

As for the front bumper / front fascia, that should be only about $2,500 - call a Viper friendly dealer or contact our local Viper owner and body shop owner (www.kennyhawkins.com)

Good thing its only a car, and can be replaced. I just recently had a misshap and went off the road and through a wire fense, the wires bunched up where the top was attacked and scratched the heck outta the hood and virtually every part of the car. Now the car is better than ever, new paint, sitting in storage and all is good. good luck on getting everything back to new.

John, Glad to hear your OK, by the looks of that dropoff it could have been a disaster if that berm wasn't there.
