OUCH! Hit cardboard Box (going to fast) PICS

Ok, Now don't ask me why there was a cardboard box (empty thank God) in the middle of the road as I was traveling (ok, a bit fast) on a desolate stretch of highway. Well, here are the pics of my run in with the box...

I wish I had pics of the box to show you... I did not realize that it was actually stuck under my bumper and I was dragging it along for about 8-10 miles until I got to where I was going. It was all black and really STUCK under there... LOL, I had to PRY it out. It almost looked like the box was burning a bit for some reason.

Well I went to the dealership and bought a new engine cover for under the car. And $100.00 later I got home and installed it myself. Was not hard at all to do and only took about 45 mins... Not hard just tediuos...

I had to tie the cover to the bumper to drive it. I tried to without tying it and it actually folded under the car.

Here ya go

Ok, here they are...
