Bumper=destroyed. Damn semi truck tire on the freeway, me and about 6 others hit it going about 70mph. Needless to say it messed some **** up. Brought tears to my eyes. I was sooooo pissed, going to talk to insurance company tomorrow.

I did that on the way home last night....I swerved and just barely ran over with passenger side. It was a retread that had come apart. Luckly no damage. I did have a blow out from a truck happen right in front of me when driving my mustang. Scared the sh*t out of me. Came right from the truck in the air to the front of the car at 80mph. Broke both fog lights, cracked driver headlight, and scraped up the bumper, hood, and driver fender.
These truck tires really are dangerous as hell!!!! They need to stop with this retread crap!

Man that sucks! I would have been sooo pissed... I just watched a vid of this kid that took his dads GT500 out joyriding because his dads out of town and hit a deer while he was driving it! This just happened a few days ago and his dad comes home this Friday to give him the beating of his like! Hope this vid makes you feel a little better about the situation brother!

Glad I missed that. Which stretch of highway was that on? At least you'll get a fresh repainted front bumper and side skirt out of it. I'd take the opportunity to get a good polish/buff job done on the car and clear off most of those swirls too.
thankfully haven't hit anything in the V.

We call those retreads in the road . . Alligators.
Looks like an easy fix. New front & side facia, paint,
black ceramic coat grill, and it will look better than new.
My brother got nail by a flying turkey. Right thru the 10-wheel tandom windshield.
Glass all over him. Some minor cuts & a dead turkey next to him.
Luckily there was a cop, with a car pulled over, about 200 feet ahead of him.
The cop was tending the other vehicle and my brother got out of his truck,
walks up to the Officer and said,
"I just got hit with a turkey."
Cop looks at him with a "yeah right, now I've heard, everything" look.
So, my brother walks back to the truck, gets the deadass turkey,
walks back up to the Officer and shows him.
The Officer then notices that my brother has some cuts & glass
all over his shoulders and calls the rescue squad to check him out.
The rescue squad shows up with some cute 18 yr. old girls in training . .
and one helluva report the police officer filed that day.
My brother lost a days work plus the cost of the windshield.
Everyone ended up OK . . except for the turkey . .
It got 'plucked' . . by the local turkey buzzards.
