There was a small object in teh road this morning that I could not avoid. Turns out to be some sort of heating element. Not too sure what exactly it was, I was just unlucky enough to not be able to avoid it.

Snapped off the bolt that holds that support piece. I took it off this morning and need to find my tap set to get a replacement bolt. The front bracket is bent pretty bad. I tried to pry it back to shape but didnt get too far...my screw driver bent. Going to have to find my pry bar.

Here is a pic of the damage, I tried to get a pic of the thing that cause the damage, but being that I was on the interstate in traffic I didnt want to risk it.

That sucks.

I dont see how something like that could cause that damage. How come you couldnt avoid it? Just stop. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

There was decent traffic so Id say between 45 and 65 mph. I was more worried about avoiding it. Unfortunatly I was in the middle lane and cars were on both sides of me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Oh well...shouldnt be more then a few bucks to get taken care of.

even @ 55 MPH its ~90ft or more to stop these trucks. They arent a sports car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Also it was a thick metal object that looked like a thick square radiator. Just tall enough to graze the front "air dam" and then bounce inder the truck. Nothing I could have done. Swerving would have meant more mayhem.

If I had your 20"s this never would have happened...so its your fault for not selling them to me when I offered.

Happened to my dad when a sink fell of a truck in front of him. Hit it going about 75...damage was around $900. Atleast yours is an easy fix if you can get the bolt out
