Good excuse to get the front air dam...

Who the McHell drops a half-thawed turkey in a bag on a highway?? 65 mph, Spur 408 South right before it begins the curved descent to I-20 West in South Grand Prairie, TX, the car in front of me "jumps" and this stupid beige plastic bag pops out from under him. I'm trapped with vehicles on both sides so I swerve to position the impact close to the driver lower control arm away from the exhaust side and the lower radiator hose. It goes BIG THUMP and blood sprinkles from the bumper to the windshield. I watched my temps and my oil pressure but nothing changes so I drive home and then take this picture. People......there went somebody's Christmas turkey.

That is ridiculous and dangerous. Have you checked everything else out to ensure that it is all good to go, or just checked what you can see that way?
