This is what your car will look like after it's introduced to a chunk of truck tire at 70 mph.

 

more...

 

happened to me too. only it was a little more to the side and got the fender out of shape a bit too. worst part was it happened like 2 weeks after i got my nismo v1 bumper installed . i haven't bothered fixing it for the past 2 years because i'm certain that it'll happen again right after.

 

Nasty. But better it hit there and not your windshield. Talking about hitting tire debree. My brother had a Pontiac Trans Am back in the 90's and he ran over a retread tire that fell off a truck on I-75 and it hit the cable/shifter arm to the automatic transmission under the car and it threw his tranny into 1st or reverse (something bad) and destroyed the car. Your story reminded me of that.

 

yeah was driving up I-75 around the I-4 interchange and an suv moved to miss it and actually ran over it and kicked it up and i had no time to move. actually felt the front tire jump up alittle as i drove over it.

 

That sucks!! So sorry that happened Steve. If you don't have a body shop in mind, the guy on our site is really good. He did my car and many others in the club. His username is bodyshop on the site. Good luck.

 

I hit a chunk of drywall a few days ago. An Explorer in front of me kicked it up and I saw id flipping through the air in slow motion, dissapear in front of the car. I thought sweet it landed, SMACK! DAMMIT!! There is a white scuff mark that I haven't buffed out yet on my bumper. Doesn't really compare to a tire though.

 

That sux bro.... I-4 and 75 sux for stuff like that. I travel it all of the time and have had my share of trash screwing up my car

 

sucks

 

retreads should be illegal.

 

Yup same thing happened to me when I had my 944 Turbo, chunk flew off of the Semi and hit me doing about 70.....scary sh*t!

sorry to hear this Steve... dealing with any accident is a pita but great that you are alright... keep us informed on the status of the Da' Blue... I mean, Silver

 

i had just gotten my car back from the paint shop and i ran over something... might have being a tire. destroyed my newly painted front bumper and lip.... now the whole thing is craking.
