Default S2000 + Tire in Freeway = Mood Killer

So I went to pick the exhaust I bought off an S2ki member. Bought the T1R Sparrow exhaust. YEY. On the way back I was cruising at about 75-80 North on the 5 in the fast lane. No one was around for a ways. As I passed under the 55, "BANG!" I did not even see what I hit. I think it was a tire. Here are a few pics. My tire was not flat, and I wan not looking to pay a tow to Hollywood. SO... I pulled out the fender liner and a part of my bumper that was wedged inside the fender, I checked my suspension and drove home. I did tie up the bumper with wire tho.

jeebus. and i thought my only fear on the freeway were flying rocks and stupid motorists... i gotta worry about tires too?

they're impossible to spot at night. ;p

i'm not brave enough for the fast lane though.
anyway, i hope you get a good deal when you plan to get it fixed up.

I will have my insurance take care of it. It will cover the damage minus my deductible. I'm glad my light housing is ok.

BTW, I REALLY like what you did to your wheels. Excellent color choice.
