Smile Small accident

Last night going to work, I was going ~35-40mph on a fairly dark road. Some stupid ass was trying to run into me. I'd steer right to avoid that, but then the nightmare starts. I'd seem to have ran over something. I'd heard about 1 min of horrific clunky sound under my car. Stopped, I'd walked back to see what I ran over and it was a jack~ =(, who the **** would put a jack in the middle of the road. I pulled into a gas station that was brightly lit and didnt really notice any damage, i need to get to work so I did bother to take a second look.

I thought, wow, lucky me. and boy was I wrong. This morning I got home and I was looking at my exhaust, it was total crooked. The passenger side can was bend upward to the point that it ate away about an inch into the bumber. I didnt think that the can can get so hot. Then I'd also noticed some major scar on the piping of the exhaust.

This sux major ass. =(

I am going to check if there are any damage to the exhaust, and try to fix it. Hopely there are none. As for the bumper I was planning to hold out and get a ing+ rear bumper. I was planning to get it sometime next year.

Vinnie just be thankful you didnt hit anything with a beating heart. The bumper is an easy fix.
