Fuggin Big Rigs & Road Debris

So, I'm on my way back home today from St. Catharines from a super fantastic night of partying and what not...so I'm comin over the Skyway bridge and I'm behind a transport truck (just the tractor) and I think to myself I better change lanes so **** doesnt get flung up from the wheels and break my ****...no sooner than I change lanes a fuggin huge as mo fo piece of something comes hurling towards my windshield and CRACK...its fuggin destroyed, I swear the object was the size of a football and solid metal or something...hopefully mine was the only car it hit cuz that would **** up a hood or fender large

So, now I gotta get me a new windshiel cuz mine is gone, no fixing this ****...it looks like my windshield has a bullet hole in it with concentric rings around it...all I can say is that I'm super bitter

pics to come...goddammit!

the way it came flying it seemed like it came up off the road cuz it didnt bounce first just alley-oop smack right in the windshield...it didnt come through the windshield thankfully but it did leave a nice depression in the glass...I was swearing the whole way back and when I got home

Just as long as the thing didn't come, through your windshield, eh! It's pretty bad that it happened, probably damn scary too.

you shouldn't drive when you're smacked out on shrooms.

Cynical, sorry to hear that isht man. On the other hand, there is nothing nicer than a new windshield that's free and clear of those wiper scratch marks!!!! Just think, it could have been the hood OR even the roof that got mashed... at least the window doesn't involve body work. Again... sorry about your bad luck with your car(s) lately.

that sucks, scarry stuff........once a while back when my dad had a Ford Taurus, he was driving on the 401 behind a truck that looked like it had chickens or something in it, then BANG, something hit the car, he pulled over and there was a big dent in the right fender and some blood, I am assuming a chicken fell out or something, scarry stuff...

They just showed on the news a piece of a trucks drive shaft broke off and went through a guys passenger side windshield and broke the womans arm. I think they said it happened on the 401, and a couple inches over and she may have been toast!

Hey matt, atleast you didnt end up in a ditch like i did this weekend hahaha. So anyways I was heading out to ottawa for the weekend tto visit some friends t ottawa uni. and on the way up it started to get snowy and icy on the 416 which sucks cuz it was like 30 mins from where i was headed :\ ANYWAYS so im going about 100kmh because the part i was driving on seemed plowed or good to go but i was still being careful. So im just minding my oown business when all of a sudden a deer pops out of nowhere right infront of me and so i turn a hard right to avoid it and end up hitting the snow on the side of the highway and i try to correct it, but correct to much the *** came out and as soon as i know it i was driving backwards still doing 100kmh down a highway. Anyways thankfully the snow was fresh in the ditch and it slowed me down good and i didnt hit a thing! I thikn i left a nice brown stain in my seat, that seeems to be about all the damage haha
