I exclaim, "Holy shit! That dude's exhaust is dragging!" to myself.

Not 2 seconds later, the tailpipe from the muffler back detaches completely, doubles end over end, bouncing at me at 65 miles per hour like a boomerang as I drive toward it at full speed. The thing jumps across 2 lanes of traffic, smacks the front bumper and I ride over it at 60+ miles per hour. It was a frigging heat-seeking missile. I wasn't even in his lane. The whole thing was happening in slow motion in my mind, where the inner monolouge went something like Darth Vader's "NOOOO!!!!" from Episode 3. The steel bumper had a baseball-sized dent in it. Good thing I was in a company work truck with a stainless steel bumper, because it would've ripped up the Camaro really badly. The lower air dam has a 1 foot chunk taken out of it, too.

People are just scumbags. They don't care.

Your last sentence is spot on, people don't care about their vehicles, or how they impact others.. It is just a way to get from point a to point b.. Who cares what it looks like.. If something falls off, oh well....
