So last night, later last night. My friend called me. She was having car issues and was on the side of the highway. Asked if I could come out and check her car out, because it was acting up. So I do. After I get out there, and about an hr later...I still had no clue what was really wrong with her car. So we decided that I would follow behind her all the way back to her place, just incase.

So we are driving down the highway,heading back to her place and then this semi just abruptly swerves into our lane. I was like "wth, is this dudes issue?" next thing I know, my friend swerves into the lane over, and here I have two huge pieces of debris flying at me. Ended up hitting my car ( 335). I am not talking about the smallest of things either. I am talking about 2 huge pieces of shredded tire, or so it looked like it.

The one hit the lower right side of the car, and the other hit the right side of the windshield...remember, this is going at 80mph. So I have some decent damage.

WOW... that's not just ouch... that's major ouch! I'm glad you're both okay, that driving situation can end much worse :( Are you going to have problems with ins fixing it quickly, and they will pay for a loaner?

I am sure it won't be a quick fix.

Then again, it might surprise me. I am going to go down to see if I can see the car today. It was pretty dark out last night when this all happened, so it may be better/worse than I originally expected.

Got it, replied without seeing your other post. Look at it this way, all that stuff that made you stronger prepared you to get through this too.

Lol. IDK, I think I am going to get rid of it. I don't want a car that has been damaged. Even if they fix it, something always seems to linger.

Have to agree with you on that. Whenever a car lets me down, or is getting into the "fix me" years I replace it. Certainly wouldn't keep anything that needed more than a dent repaired.

Whoo-Hoo! just got the memo my employer is closing the office @ 3:00 on Wed thru the rest of the week. I think I love my boss
