I love flying tires on the freeway
So I was driving to school yesterday and some guys tire popped and his tire shot across several lanes of traffic 
and I ended up running over it. It missed other cars and pretty much came out of nowhere, no time to react.
At least now I have an excuse to paint the inner grille black

the day i picked up my 2IS, i drove it off the lot for no more than 5 minutes.. i jumped on the 605S heading back home and a car's tire popped right in front of me.. smacked my bumper of course.. but no damage done.. 
... then about 2 months ago i was driving home on the 57S, and ran head on into a 5 gallon bucket.. needless to say it cracked my front bumper and shattered my foglights

If you got the guy's info, you could actually get him to pay up. I once ran over a blown tire from a van in front of me and I followed him over to where he pulled off. When the highway patrol arrived, I got his info and his insurance paid for my repaint.

pics back up. Couldn't find the guy after. Literally this tire came out of no where lol. I had no idea which car it was because I just pulled over instantly. I think he exited the freeway and bolted.
I've had the worst luck with this car. The first week I had the car some chick sees the light turn green in another lane and pressed the gas and slams into me at a red light. Then a few months later someone in my campus parking lot turned a little too early when they were backing out of a spot and tore up my back left fender (hit and run). Then the gate outside my friends house closed on my car because I was off the sensor pad...I was right in front of the gate lol. My car has been so abused -_-

Are you Glacier Frost? Be very picky with who repaints the bumper. After my incident, I am still with a mismatched front end. =(

ouch! debris on the road, especially the freeway, definitely makes it harder to swerve out of the way. the green emblem coupled with the CF looking grille, however, looks really nice- quite unique!

ive ran over tire shrapnel many times on CA freeways. I dont get why people keep up with tire maintenance as to prevent blow outs. Its like they try to wear the tire out as much as possible to save a few bucks.
