Randode takes out a tire at 90 mph!
ughh. So im driving to Laughlin thursday night cruising at a respectable 90 mph. Then all of a sudden a tire jumps out from behind a bush. I try to avoid it, but there was a car next to me. I nailed it with my front left corner. It destroyed the lower lip, the bumper is all jacked, my aluminum grilles are wasted, the inner fender liner was rubbing the tire, the side marker was hanging out of the fender, and when it came out the back, it blew off half of the rear bumper. I'm soo ____ed. At least it didnt hurt the wheels, since they are sold 
that sucks.

*OUCH* 
And those were nice mesh grilles too ... Good thing that tire decided not to attack your windshield.
I very nearly hit a COUCH somewhere on the 50 last Thanksgiving night ... would've been cherry pie all over the place.

i was just ____ed that i didnt have any duct tape with me for a roadside repair.
also, did you know that you can remove the rear bumper with just a flashlight and a swiss army knife?

You can order the bottom pieces from the dealer right? Was there anyother damage underneath?

y'know, that rear end doesn't look half bad without the skirt. All that is needed is a little trim piece to cover the attachment groove on the bottom of the bumper and a couple of mudflaps. That would make the next "road alligator" encounter much less painful!
