Who the **** leaves the equivalent of small motor in the middle of I 45
 

So i was driving up to the Zs Hockey and beer meet in Allen Texas that a few of us were going to attend yesterday the 26th and while on I 45 NB going about 65 mph i ended up running over what felt like a solid block of metal about 8in x 8in that was dead in the center of my lane. I had a 18wheeler beside me and a big pickup right behind me and despite slowing down as much as i could there was nothing i could do to avoid it :/

Well i stopped the car, got out and looked under and all i could see was a little torn plastic from the front so meh, no oil leaking not a big deal. I keep an eye on fluids all day and then this morning, when i get the car on stands to look underneath...yea more than a little pissed.

*EDIT* when pulling rims i found whatever i ran over had taken a chunk out of the right rear forgestar :(

Ahh well its what insurance is for.

Im actually impressed with the welds on the ARK exhaust. You cant see it all that well but one of the big dents is right on a weld and it didnt bust.

Pretty solid hit.

Yea :( ill take it into Baker Nissan in the morning. Just pulling my Forgestars off now.

Not a huge deal, its what insurance is for, however ive been in Iraq for a year lol, have my car back for a week and then this. Kinda funny.

Yikes that sucks! Could have been worse, though, I guess.

Sorry to hear this Man! I know that feeling. I've had that happen to me on my old 240z but it was brake drum in the middle of the lane, and I couldn't avoid it either. It tore up my oil pan, and I was fortunate it didn't rupture.

Damn, this sucks.
Hope Baker can fix it quickly for you so you can get your car back and enjoy it some more.

Damn...sorry to see. :( Yah, definitely use insurance for that.

geez

Ouch! Well it came close lol, the tear in the plastic is right under the oil pan but i was lucky there.

ouch that blows...you didn't see the car in front of you avoiding it to give you a heads up?

wow thats a good chunk!

Frost, have you checked your engine bay lately to see whether your equivalent of a small motor is still there?

What a lick. Glad there's no serious issues with the motor.

Just checked, still there. Have you checked your pants lately to see whether your equivalent of a small penis is still there?
