Driving home tonight on the highway, I get over to get off and as soon as I get in that lane there is a huge chunk of tire, too big and too late to avoid, so I hit it.
Knocked the plastic covering on the bottom of my car loose. No idea what other damage it did, but I was able to drive it the 2 miles home, so I hope nothing serious was damaged. Still fucking annoying regardless, cause now I have to take it in and rent a car in the meantime. --- //constant loneliness// --- Steam and Fortnite: billcom6 My Teams: The Ohio State Buckeyes, New York Yankees, Buffalo Bills, The CBJ, Cavs ...

The only damage is probably going to be the loose plastic covering (splash guard).

^ yeah that's just the belly pan, cheap and easy to replace. It just keeps water and stuff out of the engine but you can take it off and drive without it for a while and probably wouldn't hurt anything

No additional damage besides that splash guard, but it ripped the whole thing so they have to replace it and the bracket, and that part won't be in till next week.
And the car rental place in town is out of cars. So I guess I'm without a car for awhile lol. --- //constant loneliness// --- Steam and Fortnite: billcom6 My Teams: The Ohio State Buckeyes, New York Yankees, Buffalo Bills, The CBJ, Cavs ... Copied to Clipboard!

You don't need to rent a car dude. It's just a splash guard.
Just don't take the car over any curbs or something stupid and you'll be fine for a week. --- 'Cause you know that I have no fear, ain't gonna walk into the river and disappear. I'm gonna be a powerful man. Red blood running down the broken sand. ... Copied to Clipboard!

There is zero reason to ground the car waiting for parts, it's perfectly safe to drive. Those belly pans are just there to keep road grime and road debris out of the engine compartment, and to a lesser extent reduce drag and maaaybe optimize airflow through the radiator shroud. They're also overpriced in my experience, at least OEM stuff. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I know I can drive it without the guard. I just like being safe than sorry. I have no place to go or anything so I don't really care about not having a car for the weekend.
Also I didn't talk to the actual mechanic so I don't really know what part of the bumper got cracked as well. --- //constant loneliness// --- Steam and Fortnite: billcom6 My Teams: The Ohio State Buckeyes, New York Yankees, Buffalo Bills, The CBJ, Cavs ... Copied to Clipboard!
