HIGHWAY DEBRIS FTMFL!!! w/pics
I am driving home on the highway and all of a sudden I see this huge piece of plastic in the middle of my lane. There was not much I could do so I braced and listened to the horrible sounds of plastic and metal meeting at 80mph.
I was in the market for a new Nismo V2 front bumper but not like this. There goes my greddy front lip and another 1K.

Thats rough man. A week after I bought my Z, which was only about a month ago, I had to dodge a full semi tire right in the middle of my lane, that I did not see until about 1 car length in front of me. Good luck on the repair.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that 
I hit a truck tire in Atlanta in my toyota. Ripped the wheelwell out where it connects to the front fender..so it peeled back and rubbed on my tire. I noticed a burning smell when i finaly pulled over and saw the big hole from all the tire friction. Now I got bungee cords holding it in place..makes for easy filter cleaning for my CAI tho

looks like some good bends in the bumper as well. ..
I hate every other driver out there. And I hate parking too. People just don't care about anyone else's things unless the owners are standing by watching (which I find myself doing alot of).
