My first windshield chip last trip home and now a friggen tire this trip.

I'm hauling **** along in traffic trying to get through the moving road blocks when I see something HUGE bouncing down the middle of the two westbound lanes being thrown around as cars run into it. All of a sudden, I realize it's pretty much the complete tread of a HUGE *** tire. So, I think I'm clear when a truck in the next lane hits it and throws it right into me. Then it hits the front of the car and goes underneath both right tires. Damn I sure wish my car bra was on! Anyways, I was pretty much trying to keep from road raging the rest of the trip, while I was imagining the worst possible damage. I should have been more concerned whether I had any tire damage instead, but of course I didn't.

So, I get home an hour later and I pull out a flashlight to see the damage and I can say I'm pretty sure it's minimal. There are some nasty greasy smudges all along the bottom lip of the front bumper below and next to my fog light. However, I couldn't really see too much last night, but today after work I'll check it out closer to see if anything else down the side of the car or up front got damaged.

I just thought I would share my bad news, but I'd say so far I think I was extremely fortunate.

unfortunately when a big rig loses a tire it is generally a huge amount of tread.

OT...How much have you put into your max. Have you ran it or dynoed it yet? Sounds like you put in some work.

Yeah, I hear ya now, but last night all I was worried about was the damage and of course the fact I would have to pay out of pocket since my deductible is high because of some d!ck heads road trash.

Anyways, I'm just pleased nothing serious happened both damage and safety wise. I don't think I could have took the hit any better(besides missing it!), but I will not know the full extent of the damage until I wash all the black smudges off to see what paint damage is underneath. I believe most of it will be covered up once I get a front lip eventually.

Man, Praise GOD that you weren't hurt and your car really didn't get damaged. because I saw a accident like that around in my area and atleast 5-7 car crashed into one another, Through God's grace no-one was severely hurt, but every vehicle was considered to be totalled. Hey guys, what I'm saying may not mean a thing to you, but be careful out there!!!!!!!!

I hear ya!

I was thinking of fixing all the paint chips once I have the Stillen kit anyways, so I'd just get it all painted at once to match.
