driving north on 405 this morning headed to work the car in front of me kicked up what looked like a truck strap either from a semi or a heavy duty strap from a pickup. it flew up and hit and cracked my front bumper. more money down the drain ordering a new one, customizing it and getting it painted.. sad times.

OMG NOOO! I swear the dumbest stuff gets left on the road. Like the time I had my 95 civic hatch and at 1am I ran straight through what I believe to be a night stand on I-5. Was dark and visibility was blah, then BAM! lol. I can look back and laugh now, but still was crappy to go through. But, I'm glad you're alright and didn't get into an accident Mr. Kenji-san.

Sorry to hear about your bumper, Kenji. (at least your new "shoes" are safe!). How bad is it? I hope you can still come on Sunday.

my car is still driveable and the damage isnt as bad as it originally looked. i will still come out on sunday. its just a shame because this is excess money out of pocket that i would have rather not spent thats all.. i was gonna use the money to purchase some new stuff but i guess that just gets put on hold.. look forward to seeing you guys on sunday

damn that sucks. At least it wasnt a couch. One time heading south on 405 right after downtown kirkland at around 2 am, my friend in his 3rd gen integra ran into a couch in the 2nd from right lane. The leg punched a hole through his fender, along with other damages

People that let this kind of stuff fall off of their cars are retarded. Few weeks back before my car got hit I get to dodge a freakin canopy on I-5.
