So I got raped by a rock today...
I was driving along in the early morning going to school entering the BQExpressway. I'm underneath the bridge right and there's another car in front of me. I couldn't see the road where I have to turn. As soon as I turned, I saw this big chunk of gray.
It's around 7:45 in the morning so my mind is a bit slow. Just as I run over it, I registered what it was and I was like ####! The thing is huge. Probaly the size of a small soccor ball. Of course I ran over it and it gets sucked beneath the bumper and all I hear is rocks hitting the bottom.
I checked my gauges and keep looking in the rear mirror for any signs of liquids. It was to the right of my car so I was thinking it might have put a nice hole into my transfer case. Driving it along, everything seemed ok. Oil pressure was good, coolant was good, transmission shifting alright.
When I got to school, I looked underneath the car and the bumper thinking it might have split. No noticeable damage and from what I could tell, no leakage of anything. I'll jack her up later this weekend at home and give it a closer inspection. #### rocks and shit.

I feel ya.. I was driving through a new developing neighborhood one night with very nice pavement and curvy roads I might add.
 Anyways, I was hitting a pretty wicket wind at about 70, had my high beams and fogs on but it wasn't enough to see the the huge rock in the road. Yes I know its mainly my fault but it's all good. Anyways my left front wheel hit it real hard and put a dent about the size of my fist in the wheel. Banged it out the best I could but it still leaks a little bit. Oh well, I've wanted some OEM wheels anyways. Hope nothing too serious is wrong with your car. |

Iowa's potholes are bad too, don't move here either. The potholes seem to pop up over night around here.Thats why they say there are only two seasons in Iowa: Winter and construction.
