Almost tore the front off the car. I got charged for all those plastic pieces to the tune of $3,800--well, my insurance company got charged lol.

One good thing is all the places where the paint had been chipped off got replaced shiny new.

Anyone else with stupid accident stories?
i always see those treads on the road? those are from retreaded tires only? i thought they are from shredded tredds from a truck tire
