Had the car for 20mins and i lose the airdam

I'm driving home with the replacement turbo vert. It looks almost exactly like the other one and i like this.

Other then haveing to stop to add some water to the Rad, it was REALLY low. A nice easy freeway trip in the sun with the top down. I'm mayne 30 miles away from the pick up, and i see a black mound in the center of my lane coming up at 75 MPH. I got like 2-3 seconds to react. I look left, car, right another car, mirror not bad. I start to break and its to late. wham a tire tread from a cheap *** truck retread hits my "brand new to me" car. I her a crack, a thump and look up to see most of the air dam on my car sliding along and scaring the hell outa the guy behind me. Crap. I didn't much care for it and was going to pull it early and maybe sell it for a few bux but nooooooo i had to hit a tire. I look for a semi on the side of the road so at least i could try and get his insurance to pay for it but nothin. I had to cut of the last little bits and that was that. On a good note, it will be easier to pull the bumper now (cutout for FMIC which i don't need)

OK now i am done venting



Mods i just realized that this should probably go in the lounge sorry i usually only post here.
forgive me.
