I had a large piece of auto glass fall off a truck in front of me. I ended up having to have virtually the entire car painted and the windshield replaced. (All but one quarter panel, the trunk and rear bumper.) I had the hard top on, so that even got damaged. My clear bra saved the headlights.

The total bill to the insurance co was over 6k.

The night I was bringing my S home from the dealer, I was driving down I5 in Seattle, it was dark, raining fairly hard, and I was surrounded by traffic (i.e. nowhere to escape) when I came up on a plastic hubcap rolling down the middle of my lane. I didnt even have time to slow down and just mowed it over.

Thankfully no damage was done

I've repainted/replaced the front bumper twice over the years thanks to tire treads in the middle of the lane. Each time there was no truck in site that pulled over, so it was getting knocked around the lane for a while. Most cars had enough clearance to straddle it, but the S had no such luck.

About a month ago going about 80 mph at night I hit something long, dark and hairy on the highway that hit pretty hard. Then whatever it was, got stuck in my passenger wheel well for another mile or so because it was making a "klunking" sound. Then it was gone.

I rushed home and checked it out (about 2 more miles), and there was blood and hair on my front lip. Washed it off, no idea what it was.
