Default Cone in the middle of the interstate

So its 2am cruising at about 80 and all of a sudden wham. A damn cone laying in the middle of the I-95 let me tell you a little rubber cone can do some work to the front facia. It ripped the whole bottom lip off jammed it back into the radiator broke that loose and shoved it back into the engine and put the fans into the other side of it. So the estimate should be in today not to happy with the county road crews right now. stuck with a trail blazer for a few weeks.

That happened to me in my vette. The cone won.

They are wimps sitting there, but at 80 mph they are little bastards

That happened to me in my ITR but GET THIS... the cone was between lanes! That's right, I just happened to be changing lanes at the wrong time.... how chance!

Lukily, it stopped at the front lip. I'm sorry you weren't as fortunate.
