LOL - got hit on the freeway - LotusTalk

Hah. The car looks like it's smiling with a missing tooth.
Not sure what hit me... something round and dark. I thought it was a bit odd to be coming at an angle across the freeway lanes.
I guess I'm lucky it only took out the small grill and didn't hit the front clam itself. And thankfully the clip that screws onto the clam is left intact. whew.

I was on the 405 the other day and a pick up (gardner's) lost a tire and wheel, it just came off, which bounced across the divider hitting a few cars and there's nothing you could do since it was traffic jammed. I was far enough in my Boxster, but man I'd be very psssd if it smacked me.
