God damn road debris

hitting s**t on the road sucks.

tonight, on my way home from a 12hr shift, i decided to take the freeway because, well...i was tired and didn't want to sit behind all the idiots who drive on side streets. i was doing about 85mph on the freeway when i hit what i *THINK* is a piece of tire. to be honest, i wasn't sure, as a black tire, on the freeway, at night, is pretty damn hard to see.

so, now i have a cracked front lip, and some spider cracks on my front bumper. pictures will go up in the morning.

sucks...at first, i thought it was just the cracked front lip, so no biggie. But by the lower opening, the paint is cracking...so i gotta get that repainted.

Maybe i'll just save up and get the whole car reshot in that porsche gunmetal color....

OH, and urethane is easily cracked at 90mph, in case you missed and/or were wondering.

That sucks man! Not sure what your deducible is or how much that part costs, but my insurance coverage covers stuff like that.

Hi-Tech G - Are you for real? That's freaking absurd....fight that $hit for sure.
