Well to answer that question... Rock... did a 65mph pull with the rock... (all highway of course)

Rock walked all over my cobalt... Due to me loosing the race... rock won: Front Splitter, Front rim & wheel, side skirt, part of frame, and rear valance.

 

Was it a rock? or the rock?

 

could you make that sounds anymore stupid? haha. did a 65mph with the rock? lol

and are you sure it wasnt a boulder?

 

A rock... pretty sure his mod's included... hardened surface, crappy placement on 4 lane highway, ability to blend in with tarmac... and being effen HUGE.

 

hay now.. i'm just trying to make light out of my crappy week. and it was about the size of a football.

 

he even has mods, damn haha. and thats a huge fin rock lol

 

sorry dude i almost hit a peace of wood on the highway.

 

i once had wood while on the highway

 

that rock hit you so hard it even made your spare tire flat. jeez

 

Road hazard insurance cover any of it?

 

Nice little story time..what exactly happened?

 

Only once? Are you broken?

In other news, a female friend of mine with a victory red coupe LT hit something and put a hole in her oil pan that I could fit my fist in...

Which is a shame.

Because that's not where I want to put my fist.

 

effen hillarious.

 

I came close to falling off my chair

 

Cooper zpt FTL. I had those tires...Ok for the money I suppose but if it isn't completely dry they are terrible. Only good thing I can say about them is how predictable they are..very easy to feel the road (ex.feeling at the moment the car is beginning to push through the turn). Sorry to hear about your car though, that's very unfortunate!

 

I guess the rock is a kidney stone And your rubber broke causing some ill damage...

 

Sorry, had a busy weekend, just now getting back to checking my posts...

As for what really happened... driving down a major highway last Monday here in Colorado, following an SUV of some sort.... he swerved at the last minute... my eyes followed him for a split second, just to look back at the road at the last moment to see a Large football sized rock / piece of cement. I struck it going about 65mph... it took my front splitter, driver wheel & Rim, side skirt, and rear valance. Lucky I was able to maneuver to the shoulder with no further incident.

As for my flat spare... yea that was fun... I’ve only had my car about 6 months... and never checked to see what kind of condition my spare was in... low and behold... got the spare mounted on the side of the highway to find out it was completely flat. It had a nail in it.

A guy in a minivan hit the rock about 10 seconds after I did, and pulled off to the same shoulder... luckily he had a portable air compressor... we were able to get enough air in the spare to get it off the highway. I ended up having it towed to the body shop.

Insurance is handling everything... just have to pay my deducible. Just a bad time of year for it to happen... I've got a 3 year old and a wife... so we're pretty broke due to Christmas... so having to pull the deductable money out of nowhere has been interesting. Car should be completed by this Friday...

 

the rock is a stud man. you see what he did to stone cold a few years ago? all that wrestling and football left him in good shape. you shoulda known better.

this woulda been 10x funnier if you were from boulder. good to see youre ok. get an estimate yet? thats exactly how i hit a broken driveshaft and shredded a tire. was following a dude too closely, he swerved and i couldnt because of adjacent traffic and i took the hit.

 

Estimate - 2534

as for Boulder... meh, not a fan of overly liberal college towns.

 

as apposed to denver? isnt that one of the first major us cities to decriminalize pot. i lived in colorado springs for a few months awhile ago. love it there. ran up pikes peak a few times before they paved the mf.

 

HAHA, yea, but Denver is not a huge college town... I don't mind a littlebit of "liberness" here and there... but Boulder is in it's own leage.

As for the springs... it's FAR to conservative, even for me... and I lean towards the right.

Pikes Peak is a fun drive... been years since I've been up there though... I usually hit up Mt. Evans, as it's closer to me, and it's been paved to the summit since I can remember.

 

i honestly laughed out loud reading this. its funny to see someone turning there bad luck into a joke, but at that time what are you suppose to do? i dont think your going to go out and have a talk with that rock, so once you know everyones ok theres nothing else to do. but sorry to hear, i hope everything comes together for you.

 

Thanks! I stated this thread as soon as I got the pics from the bodyshop... I was still in shock... car's schedule to be completed by Friday so hopfully it will look good, we will see. I'll post pics as soon as it's done.

 

Something similar happened to me. A piece of a brake drum fell off an 18 wheeler and was sliding across the highway and I ran over it =(

 

That's terrible man.

Weel, I guess you can nickname your car SCISSORS now.... get SZRS for a vanity plate!!
