Angry Oh man!!!!!!!

Man! I ran over some freaking 18 wheeler tires and it completely ripped out the front bottom cover on my car! Pieces left were dragging on the freeway and started give off this nasty buring smell! NO I wasn't drunk or anything. Just doing about 100 mph, late at night and there were cars on both sides of me, so I couldn't change lane nor brake hard enought to avoid running it over! Does anyone know where I can get a complete replacement piece for my car. I have an 1998 GS 300! I've been quoted $130 at Westside Lexus of Houston! Thanks for all of your help! I gotta/try slow down!

Try and see if Carson Toyota can beat the quoted price you received.

Check your PM for specifics.

Good Luck.

Damn bro that really sucks.... But look at it this way, atleast the damage is at a minimal... And I mean minimal... I know of other members who have hit tires and other crap on the highway and caused a few grand in damages.. Atleast you or anyone wasn't hurt and it's only a few bucks in damages.. Thank God.. Takecare and I'm glad you are ok..
