Both of my windows were open at the time and this thing flew right in front of me at head-height. It crossed about 6ft in front of my windshield. Thank god I wasn't going just a tiny bit faster.

But yeah, freeway debris can strike at absolutely any time, just when you are minding your own business.

thats soo funny b/c that just happened to me and i found myself ducking inside my car like an ___...i guess its my reflectes >(spelling)?? but i couldn't help but laugh at myself....

similar thing happened to me, on the 91, something between 2 lanes, the guy next to me (on the other side of the thing) starts coming over, but stops cause he sees it, then darts over just in time to hit it with his rear d/s tire, kicking it into my p/s neon...Goodbye neon, hello road rage.

My car has been hit by some pretty random ____ on the highway. A frozen chunk of mud, a beachball (that was almost mesmerizing to watch), and a random piece of rug that made a nice thud when it hit the bumper. Ah well, the price you pay to hit the highway...
