Hello!
Today my mother and I were in the Rover driving. We were atop a hill and saw a honda accord going down the hill and quickly starting to lose control. She ended up turning sideways and coming into our lane. My mother started turning the wheel to go up over the curb, I being the person that I am had to make sure and jerked the wheel more to the right to make sure we made it up over the 6 inch curbs we have in Iowa. This teenage girl then drove away fast. We tracked her down and made her stop 10 miles away. She was trying to flee! I got her insurance information (I may of jacked up my rover) only to find out it was EXPIRED! I had the cops there and they wrote her a ticket for not having valid insurance but the cop said that can easily be over turned. This chick said she was going 35 MPH in a 30 MPH. The cop said he didn't care and that she needs to drive according to the weather. The cop agreed that she probably would of been killed because of the side impact from my rover. I guess at one point he had to go to an accident where a drunk driver lost control of his car and was going side ways into the other lane and a rover went up on top of him and they picked his body parts off the pavement.
Also:Front right shock is now at 30 inches compared to 32 on front left. Right side impacted first. I measured from the concrete to the center of the wheel well. I also need an alignment because the steering wheel is crocked to make it go straight...
THANK YOU LAND ROVER FOR MAKING A ROVER THAT CAN JUMP THE CURB AND ALLOW US TO BE SAFE!
Hope I didn't ramble, but if I did, its because this just happened and I am juiced up.
