Ferry ramp gouged fang and ate a grille

Was coming back from a nice relaxing day, wine tasting on Whidbey Island, when my stress level shot back up.

Was driving off the ferry in Port Townsend, when the ramp gouged the crap out of the driver side fang. I heard the gut wrenching scrape but was more concerned by the loud crunch which followed.

I pulled over once I got off the boat and the damage was done. Not only was the fang gouged, but the driver side grille fell out and was run over. The ramp caught on the RPI skid pad and bent it as well.

I'll post up pics later. Going to take the skid pad off, pound it out and give it a quick touch up. But not sure what to do about the fang just yet.

I was so close to talking myself into getting an APR splitter again, but I can't imagine what would have happened with that on.

Sigh...
