So upset right now

[Tim]

I just came home from the shore and travelled on route 18, which is pretty dark at night. I was going around a bend only to find a giant piece of bent sheet metal lingering in my lane. I couldn't swear to avoid it by the time I saw it, so I ran it over.

It completely cracked one of my front splitters and scratched up my bumper pretty bad. Luckily nothing else is damaged underneath the car. It sucks that I have to replace the splitter (hopefully I can buy just one to replace it) and I also got a parking ticket from a meter (which I thought wouldnt be required after labor day).

Talk about a crappy night.

Dude we're running in parallel, I just got home from dropping off my moving truck and on my way back to my new apartment I ran over a friggin semi tire tread hiding on a blacktop chunk of the highway. It messed up my lower cover panel/skid plate and totally jacked the air dam on my VR6.............

Sorry to hear about this!

Any pics?

One time, in the fall late night, it was so foggy. I was driving my mazda about 50-55mph down the hill. I admit I didn't pay good enough attention - - I could do better if I paid more attention. Suddenly, I saw a lot of blood on the road I still maintained about the same speed at the low visibility. Oh ****, in few seconds, I saw a dead deer body at the middle of the road which was ran over and over by a lot of people. You could see the bones everywhere -- it probably just happened few mins before I got there.

I had no enough time to avoid it for my speed and I had to let it go under my car. I knew I dragging the dead body for a short distance since my mazda sportcar was kind of low --- Nothing was really damaged but the next day time I checked, I saw some deer hair and the blood messed up my front spoiler's paint a little bit.

It turns out that I did run over a truck tire tread. After looking at it in broad daylight I was able to see the extent of the damage.

The whole lower panel cladding is black from the tire. The Front splitter is cracked in a few places and the screw holes are stripped out. My rims are also black from the tire.

After washing it and appling rubbing compound most of it seemed t ocome out.

I just priced out getting the splitter reglassed, shaped and painted for about $250.

Not to mention I just got another parking ticket (which was my fault anyway) and earlier in the week someone stuffed hard boiled eggs in through the gap in my windows.

A bunch of bad things seem to be happening lately to SVXs.

It must be "giant piece of sheetmetal in road week" We dodged one in the tribeca yesterday. Sorry you had to hit one.
