So im driving on I90...
 

and driving straight in the left lane passing an 18 wheeler in the TL and look down for a sec to change cds at 545am... then BAMMM, 3 pass side airbags go off as somthing absolutely ROCKS the car and the car is all over the road, shaking and not responding well to steering input, so i keep the car on the road and slow down gradually and make it over to the right shoulder and survey the damage. Im thinking WTF?? How in the world?? A blown tire wouldnt cause that much damage would it? So i change the tire and the wheel is completely destroyed, with a football sized hole right in it... Now im very confused. What could i have hit soo hard that would have destroyed my wheel and made messed up some pass side lower molding? As well as set off 3 airbags? What in the world? So there is this trucker that is pulled off the road ahead of me maybe 150ft after where i rolled to a stop... and he walks back to me and goes Hey, have you seen a driveshaft a few hundred yards back? Now i gotta get her fixed... anybody else hit road debris like that and had their airbags go off?

Big ass Jackstand flew off the bed of a flat bed truck on Hwy 18 onto my hood left a football sized dent/shatered headlight...

Followed the driver for 10 miles before he stopped. He played stupid, I just asked for his company name, then called his manager right there on my cell phone. They cut me a check the next day for 500$ (i said just give me a check and I wont claim anything and Id take care of it).

The key is trying to be forcefull without being a prick about it. Bottom line is those guys are just doing there job too... and ---- happens I was just really happy the thing didnt go through my windsheild

I was taking the Rickenbacker causeway yesterday behind a big fishing boat being towed, we hit the uneven pavement where the construction was and about a four foot dolphin fell out of that guys lockbox as well as another fish. The dolphin blew up on my windshield and the other one flew under the tire.
The car now reeks.

Re: So im driving on I90...
 

Yeah man you can def get paid if you got the guys info. Goodluck with that.
I blew all the side airbags in my car from hitting a manhole cover. I was going pretty fast but still...waaaayyy tooo sensitive.

Re: So im driving on I90...
 

Side airbags going off like that would probably scare the ---- outta me, just wear a helmet and pads :P

Re: So im driving on I90...
 

Did he ever find the driveshaft?

Re: So im driving on I90...
 

Sorry for you, I hope you got his info. I don’t know what the hell is up with ------- trucks on the road lately, I’ve been on the interstates a lot lately and I noticed there is not one mile that doesn’t have ------- debris of some kind mostly full tire treads. There is no ------- accountability for this ---- on the road and if you hit it you’re just fucked.

Driving to Georgia on a small 2 lane highway, everyone is travelling about 75-85. It's two lanes, with a very deep dropoff about 3-4 feet off each side of the road, no guardrails. There are two cars ahead of me, I see the very front one swerve, didn't know why. The one behind it swerved a little too late and clipped a huge ----------in tire tread sitting in the center of the highway. It flies into the air, and since my del slo windshield was already cracked, I tried to avoid hitting it. Car does a nice 520 degree spin at the top of the hill. I ended up spun around in the same lane. Fortunately BOTH lanes saw what was happening and stopped, and I managed to spin in a straight line instead of plummeting off the side of the highway. Since the traffic was stopped, and I'd feel guilty if someone died because of that ----, I walked over to it, gave it my best -----you-two-birds-in-the-air pose and threw it off the highway.

Bitches need to clean their ---- up.
