Default Damn Semi Truck Tire Treads!!

I hate semi truck tire treads that are in the darn lanes! Middle of the night driving home on the fwy when I see the car in front of me swerve a bit and before I know it I see something fly at me and BAM it smacks me in the the front and I run it over. Ended up being a piece of tire tread. Tore up my front bumper and air dam. At least it missed my intercooler but just barely. Hard to avoid stuff sometimes with a car this low. Thank God for insurance a low deductible.

The night before




Damage from tire tread




At the shop, parts ordered

One of the additional reasons I stopped riding a motorcycle.

Seidners has this cool Internet feature where they take a picture of your car everyday so you can see the progress. Pretty cool

Yep, those thrown retreads are hard on cars.

Hit one with my GTO and it smashed the hood up pretty good, caught it mid flight.

Hoping I get the car back today. I'll post pics of the repair. Damn, now everywhere I drive all i see is road gators and debri. I think its time to invest in a 3m clear bra for the fresh paint on the bumper.

I’ve got a clear-bra on all the leading edges of the GTO; best money the previous owner ever spent. Do it, you’ll like it.
