Default So pissed I can barely see straight.

Well, earlier today I was heading out on the highway going back to work and I notice this F-150 swerving a little and then pull off the highway. Well it turns out that he lost his rear wheel AND rear brake drum (the rear brake drum on these damn things is like as big as a manhole cover). I look back in my lane and the rear brake drum is rolling right at me! I hit the thing doing almost 60mph, the impact literally destroyed my bumper lens, and popped my bumper (breaking it) off the fender (where the screw attaches the bumper to the fender. The front lip spoiler? Took a *** kicking as well. So I got this guys license plate #, insurance info, sounds like I can get the whole front end redone at no cost to me. I hope everything goes through okay on this. Damn, I was reading about all of the R's having accidents lately so I've been driving extra careful recently. Guess not good enough.
Drink lots of

JUst make sure you tell the other insurance company the wheel was moving at the time of impact. If it was stationary they may not have to cover it, as you then hit an object and it would be up to your insurance company.

yeah make damn sure u say it was moving and there was no way u could safely avoid it. a long time ago i was hit by a couch that fell out of someone's truck and i make the mistake of saying it was just sitting there and the insurance company would not cover it because they claim "i could have avoided it"....

120km/h on the highway, couch falls out of a truck in front of me and gets hit by a tanker in the lane next to me, and i get the rest. total damage $1800 out of my own pocket, or my premiums go up.

i'll be sure to be laughing at u when something happens to your ride

I'm really fortunate then because I told them that is was rolling right towards me (which is was, no lying there). So how could I pull off getting a JDM front end because doesn't that involve a new front bumper...but ALSO new fenders and light housings? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but this if the first time I've ever dealt with this situation. Thanks for all of the replies, it actually makes me feel better to talk to fellow car owners about it.
