Just my luck :(

So there i was, driving home from work on I-295, and i hear a load "thump", which travels from the front of my car all the way to the back, so i look back and see someone's muffler flipping down the highway, and i just ran it over doing 70. I didn't even see it, the guy in front of me must have hit it to.. i guess it doesn't matter, i wouldn't have been able swerve, there were cars on both sides. Now for the damage:

absolutley destroyed my fog light, and one of my clear corners, and ripped up my bumper

it figures, i when i got home i was gonna do the foglight rewire mod too ... anyone else share my pain with a similar experience?

Sorry man, I would go after the guy who's muffler was hanging, and claim damage. I would atleast take their license plate down, And report it to my insurance company.

Sorry to hear it man. Try getting a hold of CleanMax98. He seems to have a good idea of what RI yards have what for parts. He may even have what you need.
