Today while going to work I see something in the middle of the road. With nowhere to go I had to hit it. Turns out it was a big piece of concrete. I pull over to take a look but it's dark so I really couldn't see anything. Second break at work I went out to look and all i could really see was I bent up the engine cradle. After work I went to dealership for them to put up on lift. By inches in either direction I could of imoblizied the car either taking out the oil pan or trans pan. It skipped along the passenger side of catback then hit rear beam. I consider myself lucky.
