i was with my brother in his old ford escort and we were driving down a dark road. we saw a black thing in the road and thought it was a balloon from the hotel/resturant on the road (does wedings also). well hit it doin like 55. turns out it was a bowling ball. put a hole in the tire and dented the rim and put a crack almost 1/2 way through it. the bowling ball flew pretty far too LoL. i think he still has the bowling ball haha

A customer who owns a crane company had one of his cranes break down and needed to be towed.The owner of the company was following the towed crane in his corvette when the rear end of the crane exploded.The corvette ran over the differential which went right through the floor.Pretty much totaled the 'vette.

Driving on i17s behind some huge ass SUV.. They swerved and it dawned on me something was in the lane...


what was it?

THOSE ------- METAL SKELETON THINGS THAT THEY PUT ON TRUCKS TO HOLD LADDERS AND TOOLS. THE ENTIRE ------- THING. :S :S

I swerved hardcore with only about a car and a half maybe two cars before I hit it... ------ a... thank god my suspension in my car isn't mushy I'd have probably tumbled down the freeway when I corrected it three lanes over :X

Look in my rear view mirror, and *bam* some person nails it in a minivan.

Also driving on the i17s I was going around the durango curve and some jackass ricer boy was hauling ass through the curve... blindly moved into the slow lane.. and nailed a pallet of newspapers.


Seriously, there needs to be some major ------- accountability here for these fucks that drop ----. :(

Worst I had was hauling ass up the onramp to the 17 south... got to where it merges into the single lane... ------- mat of some sort that's a couple inches tall. nailed it... there was nowhere for me to go... It ripped my power steering cooler air diverter off and one of the clamps on my exhaust off. :(

I've been lucky enough to not have hit anything...yet :l

One morning I was driving in a down pour w/poor visability and next thing I know theres something in the road completely blocking my lane, I believe it was a big ass roll of carpet but not sure. Braking was pointless but I managed to change lanes just in time and not hit anyone around me. I know someone had to have hit it though.

These type of stores are my driving nightmare, but even with all the driving I've down in the last few years, I've only had a few close calls.

The worst of which being a big branch in the road (driving in a slammed integra) that I skidded to a stop to not run over, while it was raining, foggy, and I was very tired.

The other being some massive roadkill, big cat, big possum, or small dog, cant remember...but that would have not been good for my civic hatch that was about 2 inches high in the front.

My one friend hit a big possum with his accord and it bent the bottom of the front crossmember in, it dented in his condenser real bad, and poked a hole in his rad, while ripping off the lip he had on teh front. It was a damn funny mess.

Worst I have had was a couple of weeks ago a semi-tire tore out my wheel well liner...thankfully that was all.
