Sorry about the bad luck. A few years ago my ex-wife was in the middle lane on a freeway when a barbecue came off a pick-up and she had to take it. It smashed the grill and jambed up under the car. She was also lucky she didn't hit anybody else.

Thanks for support guys! I feel better today. Yesterday was just a bad to begin with and this just pushed me over the edge. At any rate, the car is fine. I havent looked underneath it but it was all plastic so I am pretty sure its all OK.
IcW@TeR, the wheels weigh in I think at about 30lbs mounted. FastZ33, I am giving you a call...
Any thoughts on how the Nismo V2 will look with the greddy sides?

Road debris for the loss, indeed 
A while back I was driving home on 495 at night, doing about 75; I change lanes to exit, and there, laying across the lane was someones full cat back exhaust. 
I didn't have time to change lanes again because of a car beside me, and after running over it, the derelict exhaust got caught between my front wheels and splash guards.
There were sparks flying like no other, looked like I had some 4th of july fireworks attached to my fenders, like some Evil Knievel stunt
I had to jack my car up to get the **** out, and my front bumper was contorted from there forth.
Excellent times. I feel for you man. I hate people.

OMG same **** happened to me this morning. I hit a piece of a pallet and shattered my Cwest front lip. I was so furious and I could do nothing but wait for the impact. I had a semi and a SUV next to me so I could not swerve anywhere. I hate these f-in roads and this is the second time I hit something on these crappy-*** roads.

To top it all off, right before it happened I had some douche in a volkswagon who wouldnt let me over on the onramp. When I passed him on the interstate, he gave me a thumbs up like I thought it was cool or something, needless to say I gave him the finger.
