Ouch
She has a flat right rear, and a couple gouges on the passenger side just above that protective Rhino-Lining type stuff back towards the end of the door. Hard to explain, but I basically backed over a large curb. The flat tire might be from picking something sharp up on 26 though, because the car had been pulling a little before I hit the side. Tragic 
...I'll post pics if I work up the stomach to take them.
EDIT: Pic added. Crappy quality, but you get the idea.

Yeah..stupid mistake. Too used to driving a taller and narrower Cavalier in the same space (behind a friend's house). Hopefully it won't set me back too much to fix. It's not mangled, but there is one dent about quarter sized and a couple gouges a few inches long that are sufficiently into the metal.

I don't know how much you remember about the road and towns, but the one 15 MPH downhill righthand switchback is dirty as hell, and the segment from Ozark to Woodsfield is also dirty in places. Not enough that I should have picked up a flat, but enough that I wouldn't go blindly plowing around corners quite yet. Given a few more hard rains and some more through traffic, it should be great though. Between my friend and I, we drive the whole span of it weekly, so feel free to ask if you want a conditions report.

thanks for the update...
we still would like to do another run through route 26 this summer. i know that it was carmen's gig in the past, and although i'd love to have him host it, i don't think that's going to happen. so.... i think joe (strangedaze), had volunteered to put together another event. if that's the case, maybe you and him can coordinate something. i know that last time involved some serious off-roading/driving through floodwater, so we'd probably like to avoid that this time around

The road needs to be spotless before I'll go on another rt26 drive. My car's front end took a beating last year.
