I was on Hwy 101 heading to my girlfriend's. I was trailing behined a Nissan 240sx when it ran over a tractor trailer's mud guard. The mud guard flipped up, and hit my bumper. I was going between 75 and 80mph (speed limit is 65). The guard slid up my hood and got stuck on the windshield, directly in my field of vision. I couldn't see anything! I had to merge off the highway to the shoulder. I'm really lucky that I didn't die. Below is the carnage

Ouch! That sucks man! Hope the damage wasn't too bad.

 

ok, this is the ONLY reason a cop can say that a front plate is a good idea for.

 

that grill deserved it.

 

That grill is what saved my radiator from getting trashed too!

 

you and freeway debris?
glad your alright and damage looks minor.

 

You just have all the luck, don't cha Marc, sucks it's all bad....

although you may be able to buff out the paint, but the grill is a goner

good luck brother!

 

sorry to hear that...

good news is that now you have a reason to get rid of that chicken wire on your car

 

not bad cosidering my situation of just trashing the driver side of my bumper by backing out too close to the garage wall
