Default [missing] Drivers side sideskirt. Last seen on the 5 fwy in socal.

So Im driving back down from LA Sunday morning. Im on the 5 freeway southbound going about 130mph and passing the 5/91 interchange. I hear a "thump" and I thought I just hit some debris on the freeway. Everything seemed fine so I thought nothing of it. The next morning when I woke up at my gf's house in Orange, I find that I have a sideskirt missing!! GrRrRrr... man Im so pissed I just put these on a couple of weeks ago. I have to admit, I didnt have ALL the fasteners installed, I figured the door would hold most of it on anyways, but then I have the same amount of fasteners on the passenger sideskirt and that one is still fine. Oh well, I have a 90K service coming up so it looks like Im going to have to roll around for another month or so with only one skirt. So if anyone is in the buena park area on the 5, and sees a black sideskirt sitting on the side of the freeway, please try not to run it over and pick it up for me =X

At 130mph, you should be glad nothing more was damaged.
Still sucks though.

I was on the 91 freeway going around 120 and I lost one of my JDM clear corners...seems that the lense just flew right off the base...

You're stupid for going that fast.

Are you sure you can even get up to 130 though?

Mods before you jump on my case, John Tan is a very good friend of mine.

I actually drove by there yesterday just to see if I could find any remnants of my sideskirt. There were none. I just hope it doesnt end up on a civic or something

You've got *****, at 130mph I would be scared of getting a ticket. By the way got one leaving Victorville, heading back to the BayArea. 80 in a 65, finally got a chance to pass some trucks and at the bottom of the hill CHP. First ticket in over 10 years.
