I might have to look into that, thanks.

At least it didn't hit your oil pan or oil filter or something of extreme importance!

I remember hitting something in a different car in an i-pass/toll lane. I didnt have to slow down cuz I had the I pass, and I couldnt swerve cuz there was walls on both sides of me.

Its the worst feeling ever. I though a spike went through my oil pan.

Bah, not in the UK, a lot of roads there are like something out a war zone. Also in winter they put rock salt on the roads to stop it freezing using trucks. So when you come up on one of these trucks speading this **** you can either sit behind it at 15mph for mile after mile or overtake it and get peppered by corrosive rock Then you drive around in a saline solution of this crap for the next two weeks. Its a great system.
