Me and CJ(glenviper) we're just crusing around saturday night at the street races. We're going about 40mph and out of the dark I see what looks like a grocery bag, or a milk jug...It came so fast, I didn't even hit my breaks and BANG, SCRAPE, BANG BANG underneath the car "HOLY SH*T, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" I stop and check my lower lip, it's got a nice scratch, but nothing to worrie about..Little did I know the exstent of the damage...We pull into a gas station, and the first thing, my driver side fog light it out now, we get out of the car, and the hood looks like it's open..It's not and there's about a 1/16'' gap, damn, I must have fu*ked something. I look underneath it, and I can see that the tranny Cross memeber is totally smashed..Ouch...I slam the hood a couple time to get it to go down almost all the way and then drive home. I get the car on jacks and take a look. Oil pan ok, tranny case..looks ok as well. I figure how to pull the cross member off to see If I can bend it back....No use, it's f***ed..I check some other things, and noticed it's pushed the motor mount into one of the fans, so when the car gets warm, that fan starts hitting the motor mount...I had to disconnet that fan, and Im only running on one fan now...Well, i Need to replace the cross-member and more the likely the front motor mount... Damn..Life sucks, as If I have extra money to fix my car because some jackass thought it would be funny to leave a 25lb rock sitting in the road.

Oh man...I feel for you. One time i was driving and there was a bigass pumpkin in the middle of the road and my first instinct was to just go over it but as i got closer i realized it was like 2 feet tall so i smashed the brakes and went around it, that would have ****ED my car in so many ways. Another time i was slowly going down my street at like 10 or 15 and getting an altoid and all of a sudden my friends were like UH LOOK OUT@! and i looked up and right as i looked i was going over what looked llike an exhaust system. BUMP BUMP. I stop and get out and it's a razor scooter! the thing was pretty screwed and i dont know what the FRICK it was doing in the middle of the road. After getting in the car i noticed there was a kid on his bike at the bottom of street that was just sitting there with his jaw dropped staring :P
Hope this helps you to cheer up NOSCeli :P

I remember one time in my Mom's Colony Parks station wagon my bro and I was doin 45mph and jumped this railroad track that was elevated about six feet, sloping up on both sides. Me, my bro, and two of my friends smacked our heads on the roof while completely airborn. We had about 10 feet of air and when we landed, sparks shot out all over, and this was in the middle of the day!

When we stopped and looked thing over, the cars' frame kinda flexed, downpipe was pancaked, and we had left the rest of the exhaust system behind in the street. The frame was slightly bent, and the doors didn't really close like before.

Luckily, one of my friends was in autoshop and we fixed most of it before we picked up my Mom that evening. She never noticed:D

Close one, whew

This doesn't really relate to anything, but it was one of the scariest and funniest things that has ever happened to me;)
