Default Flying semi truck tire

I was walking out of Reliant Energy in Avon Lake, Ohio today when I noticed a nice little door ding. I think to myself just my luck.

So I jump in the car and head home on the turnpike.. and a semi blew out a tire, the tire went flying across two lanes and struck the passenger side of my car...

I immediately pulled over, got out and assessed the damage.

Damage: Fog light was not in its spot!! It broke off of the clip that bolts it to the bumper.

Also, the front lip was not flush with the front bumper.

I get home pull the fog light applied some 2-part epoxy and fixed the broken portion. Its still curing, and will re-install tomorrow.

Also washed the car, and noticed there was not a single scratch on the car.

At least it didn't take out the hole front end!!!!
