Default I got a lip piercing

I hit something on the freeway and started hearing dragging. I pulled over to see what I hit and see this.

"What the hell is that?"
Look closer to see this.

"Dang... my car got a lip piercing." Went straight through the lip.
Burned my fingers pulling it out too. The thing was way longer than I expected.

Thought to myself "could've been worse...". Got back on the freeway.

I'm actually glad that thing didn't pierce through my face...haha. Be careful on the road everyone!

State owned trucks drop stupid things like that all the time. This summer I ran over an orange traffic barrel... It took out my right front lip/fog lamp/wheel well liner. It could always be worse!

That thing is huge! Glad your ok.

I remember hearing about a piece of rebar just like that coming off a truck a hitting a car behind it. It went straight through the f windshield , pierced the woman through the chest, through the seat, and into the rear floor of the car. She was harpooned/pinned in her seat...dying
