i heard he was standing by a truck with something in the back, ladder maybe? blew him off his feet 30’ and into the woods. It was such a freak accident, could easily have hit the metal grandstand and killed 50+people, was too close

Did anyone there happen to see my old Jeep? The guys that bought it always show strong in that but I wasn’t sure if my old girl was still pounding the dirt or not.

For those that don’t know, she was a 94 ZJ with a RK 7" lift, 35’s, reverse headers, and a large pvc snorkel.

it used to be green but I think they painted it flat black. It also now has a pink skull on the side and I think it says Dirty Girl or something. Its a chick that drives it.
