A state trooper saw a friend of mine weaving he told him to hit the debris and not to weave because you can lose control of your car.

wow same thing happened to my last car too. truck in front ran over a plywood board and it shot up in the air and landed on my hood. it slid up and hit the A pillar and knocked off my side mirror. i had no idea what happened until i saw a black pod like thing bouncing away behind me and i turn to look at the side mirror to get a better look and just see wires hanging out. the damage to my hood wasn't as bad as yours though. yours just looks painful to look at. ouch!

ouch, but most importantly I'm glad you are alright. I'm sure the car will look good as new when it gets fixed up.

some ghost flames or custom paint would fill that in nicely, still a bummer though.

Man! that is some bad stuff!

Are you sure you did not get your location state of Arizona incorrect and really meant to say Houston, Texas?!

Hey, that can can be fixed!

She'll be good as new before long.

Good luck.

Oh, and make sure that you change that location to Houston, that kinda crap only happens here in Texas!

Cheers,

Old Oiler

That's no debris if it causes that much damage. More like a terrorist attack bro.

I agree completely! I think I need to start carrying around a couple of "special op's" guys in my back seat from here on.
