Default As if I havent had enough problems...

First my air vents break (which the dealership is going to fix on Tuesday) and then coming home tonight I hit a freaking brick. Yes a brick. Apparently someone was hauling bricks and lost about six of them off the truck and didnt bother to go back and pick them up, and of course I nail one before I even knew what hit me. Its dark outside so I couldnt really see any damage but I wont know until the morning. Hopefully nothing is damaged.

i will match your problems with common stupidity,, i was racing from waco to houston not long ago and i normally take a safe route with two lanes on both sides for incoming and out going traffic.. finally bout ten mins from my buddys house i get locked in a caravan of trailer houses. then the master trailer house begins to loose its asphalt shingles and they seemed to get strategically placed all over my hood and roof, stupid tc and its failure to bounce shingles of its soft paint job........

Thanks guys. I didnt feel the brick kick up much, it did a little, but thank god I was in my subdivision and wasnt going very fast. I cant see any damage as of now, but I noticed last night while driving the car was pulling to the left.

Oh wow. That sounds like something that would happen to me. I hope whoever sold the trailer repaired any damage, cause that really sucks.

Thankfully there was no damage done by the brick. I must have hit it square in the middle so it didnt kick up enough to do anything bad.

well to tell u the truth, its a redneck in a beat down truck tryn to tow a big asssscan be trailer, i know he saw me swerve but a well placed jack n the box drank pelted his noble steed(the truck) then i high tailed it out that place, i had to pee so bad but fear of a manly beatdown subsided in the confines of my own little mind, so i earned my expand my bladder achievement that day. now i can hold a 44oz soda like no other
