Well, I hear the thing hit the front of my car and after I get out to check it and there is a huge dent on left part of the front bumper. 2500 miles and already something goes wrong. I'll post pics as soon as I'm home later today... Just pisses me off that this kind of stuff happens. But I suppose it could have been worse... could have hit my windshield or messed up more than just the front bumper I guess. Eh.
Just thought I'd vent to people who can truly empathize
all the others who have seen have been like "oh it's not that bad". This is my brand new baby

anyways.. sry to hear that... roads here in USA aren't that bad comparing to some other places.. I drove a brand new Nissan Paladin in China and the freeway (about 300km drive) had over 30-40 perfect square pot holes.. (3x3x3 feet in size and depth) they were apparently fixing the road and just ignored putting warning signs on at night..

Anyway, I hit a cat on the Interstate when I was literally going about 95 MPH in my M3, and really messed up my front end. THAT wasn't cheap! So I feel for you brother-
