Angry What happends when you Hit a Tire Gator..

This is the resault of the car being to low and hitting a Road Gator(Semil tire recap).. Wife was driving to work this morning and was dark and didn't see it.

Cant see it in the pictures but tore the bumper cover on both sides where it mounts in the wheel wells..

Things that will want to make a grown man cry..:(

This is why backup sensors are so useful.

WHAT?



And... back up sensors are generally for lazy people who cant drive and are too oblivious to their surroundings.

Backup sensors wouldnt have helped this, She was doing 70mph on the interstate and hit a Semi tire that had come off. Semi's try to save money so they buy recap tires then they come apart on the hwy and tear cars up or kill people.

So are hood ornaments for that matter.

To the OP, I had my pick up truck door slapped by one of those a few years ago. I had to get the door skin replaced.

You would have to ask tbass, I had no idea she was backing up. Maybe she's a stunt driver and I didn't know.

Not sure where he came up with she was backing up with my post.
