ran over flat tire on freeway...

man today i was driving on the freeway, then all of a sudden the truck infront of me poped, one of the tire split to many piece and cars behind the truck was dodging left and right. somehow one big piece came right infront of me all of a sudden i cant dodge it cause theres cars around me so i ran over it with the driver side tire. my car is lowered and sounds like i ran over it and that piece of tire spinned couple times in with the tire then it bounce off. anyone had similar experience? any problems?

I hit a piece of retread in my old Stanza. It didn't do anything but put a little dent in the fender.

I had a huge cardboard box fly out of a truck and I couldn't dodge away from it but luckily I had my bra on so it didn't do any damage

I hate it when small debris fall from construction trucks. It's painful to hear them hit my car... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

I was on the Western KY parkway and the dumb azzes were doing construction. They must have been drunk when they set the orange barrels down cause they were everywhere. i got stuck in the 10mile construction zone behind one of those OVERSIZE LOAD semis, loaded down with about 3 huge lead blocks(i'm talkin twice the size of my civic here). The driver was goin really fast and swerving to avoid the badly misplaced barrels. Well, he hit about three, and sent them my way, but i went into the grass and dodged two, the third hit the top of my car(no damage though) and then he hits a big patch of gravel(big suprise) and jack-knifes , sending a shytload of gravel my way. i screamed and swerved the other way, but i got 6 gravel chips in my front bumper(please believe i'm buying a lebra for my car after this isht) and a big chip in my windshield. i mentioned the name of the road cause if you've ever been on it, you know exactly what I'm dealing with. 187 miles of pure hell
