Got hit by one of those orange hiway buckets!!
Just driving along at 75 or 80 mph, and I see one of those orange constructions barrels flying across the interstate, right at my car. I can't go left because of the WALL and can't go right, otherwise straight into it. It pounds into the side of my car, and i'm like CRAP!!!
I pull off the interstate immediately, NO DAMAGE!! WHEW!!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

fortunately i haven't had to dodge anything on the highway yet, but I do remember driving behind a semi with one of it's rear tires blown.. flapping all over the place. with no traffic at all i sped away in the far left lane before it ruptured the fuel tank and created a fire that shut down the interstate for 8 hours and destryoed 4 acres of forest..
then i woke up.
then i woke up.
Dude, the same thing happened to me. I was driving down the freeway a couple of weeks ago, goin about 75, and all of a sudden all the cars in front of me are swerving out of the way. Suddenly I see one of those big *** orange things rolling right down the middle of my lane. Luckily since there was a shoulder next to me, i barely missed that bitch. I dont know what happened behind me cuz everything was goin so fast, but if someone hit that during rushhour, i would imagine that all hell would break loose.
I just about missed a bed in the middle of the freeway last night... someone somewhere ahead of me must have hit it since it was only half of it... Luckily I swerved around it... It was definitely weird. Glad to hear there was no damage to your car

[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]When I was moving back here to Ia, it was around 11:00PM and I was driving this monster U-Haul truck. I heard a clicking sound every 2 seconds or so for around a minute, then looked out the window and noticed I was knocking over every single construction barrell for a mile or so. Lets just say, I felt really stupid.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
Hmmm eariler this fall my car got hit in a parking lot by one of those steel barrels they use for trash cans (VERY windy day out) wasn't cool, scratched up for front bumper too.... oh well I wanted to get a body kit and replace it anyways [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Good thing there was no damage!
