chunk of concrete + focus @ 65mph = ouch!
so, on the way home yesterday on I-5, i was switching lanes just before the exit to get home. it was dark. i saw a lighter colored blob come into view in my driver’s headlight, directly aligned with my driver’s side front wheel. i don’t know if i moved to the right instinctively or not, but…
… i hit it. not so bad in the front, but much worse in the back. i continued off the exit figuring if the tire was deflating, it would at least get me that far. just off the exit i got out and looked — they all still had air, so i drove it home (about 3 blocks away).
end result: impact bruise on front driver’s tire, deep impact bruise & bent rim on driver’s rear. the car’s going back into the alignment shop on sunday to get the suspension & steering components checked out.
