OWNED by a tire in the middle of the road!!!
Well we left for napperville dragway arround 730 and when we where 10min from the track it started to spit and my friend called me to tell me that the races where cancelled so I turned arround and headed home.
Well i took Champlain instead of Mercier, I guess it was the wrong desicion....
Im driving 90 inback of a 18wheeler when I see a tire come flighing at my car. I had no time to turn, brake or anyting so i ran straight over it..
Damage is........A cracked mag, blow tire, Broken DC 4-1 header, dented oil pan, dented under my car.... and now my engine light is on and the A/F gauge read all Green(right) so many my motor is facked too!
This is what I call getting owned!!!!!!!!!
and the worst part is, I didnt even get to run

That sucks, I've always freak out when I see tires on the road, never imagined this much damage was possible.
What wheel is that, hard to tell from behind.

Sorry to hear that. It could've been worse. The tire could've hit your windshield and caused you to veer off the road. At least you didn't get hurt. Good luck on the repairs..

Well, it sucks, but seriously, what can he do? There's no sense in being miserable over it. Good luck with getting everything fixed.

If the tire was just a tire in the road that the truck ran over the truck is not at fault. If the tire came off of the truck you can contact the trucking company.

Re: (VTECPWR)
I feel your pain. I ran out a chunk of semi trunk about two weeks ago. It tore out the fender liner, bent the right front fender, tore part of the chin spoiler and put a dent in the right quarter panel. Almost $3000 dollars by the time it comes out of the shop. I should get it back today. Try to have your insurance cover it, and good luck with the repairs. Also, if you do file a claim, our Province might classify it as a one car accident...like retarded California does.

That's best case. A tire through the windshield would be just as likely to make you a foot shorter.
