Default F@@kin semi's!!

I was just cruising home from work, trying to change CD's, then all of a sudden, BAM!! I looked back, and it looked like I hit a big piece of a semi tire or something. I felt it hit the bottom of my bumper, bounce along the bottom of my car, and out the back. I was sooo pissed, and was more pissed when I got home and saw this:





Not a scratch on my car, till this... I hope nothing on the underside was damaged.

Be thankful it didn't hit your windshield to make you lose control and die.

Merry Christmas.

C'mon, I know all of you had your panties in a twist after your first "incidents" with your cars.

Not super pissed, but still sucks. I'm just hoping nothing else was damaged. It really did clank through the bottomside of my car pretty bad. I'll be checking for damages in the light of day tomorrow.

I BOUGHT my car off the dealer lot with no front emblem, and a big screwdriver hole in the plastic of the bumper where they pried it off. Hehehe

But yeah, in less than a year I put the thing into a tire wall. That pissed me off. Since then, I stopped giving a Fart.

This thread belongs in appearance.

Sometimes if a truck drivers negligence causes your vehicle cosmetic damage, call the number on the truck and report them.

I had a truck drop a few small pebbles/rocks on the road and kicked up and cracked the **** out of my winshield before. The rocks in the bed of his truck were almost overflowing. I called the company # listed on the truck, gave them the license plate number and bitched at them. They paid for my winshield.

Also a much truck (also too full with mulch) dropped some **** on the road a few months back and whacked into my TL and tore like a chunk of the paint off on the fender....really weird. I did the same thing, and they paid to have it repaired.

I hate semi's personally, I've had a tire pop off right in front of me and slammed into the front end and down the passenger door, leaving dents and tire marks. Then like a week after i got my jdm Front the same damn thing happens, this which broke my c-west lip. Yea i have bad luck when it comes to semis

Well, they musty have a covered/secured load to be legal to drive on the road. As for tires though, its cheaper for companys to retread their tires(they actually add another ring treads onto the worn tires to save $$) and the old treads wear out and are left on the highway. Stupid i know, but theres nothing you can do about it.
