Had a six inch piece of pipe impale the windshield of my Subaru once, and a guy I knew was killed by a trailer hitch that was on the road and was kicked up by a car. Good friend of mine was killed by a trailer that came loose from a truck. Yeah, hazards in many aspects of life. That"s why I don't sweat the small stuff.

I still have my original factory pumpkins... you're welcome to them if you wanna cross back over to the dark side.

My wife was in the Cherokee when a matress came loose from truck ahead of her . She had no time to do anything but roll over it, hoping the lift kit would let her pass over it uneventfully. Mr Mattress had other ideas, jamming itself under the Jeep, attached like a Serta Remora. Wifey was a few miles from my office so she made a beeline here. I met her out back, took a peek under, saw flames, shrieked like a little girl seeing her first ### (I know you are pervs, so fill in that part as you see fit), grabbed a fire extinguisher and extinguished said flames now dancing happily near the gas tank.

Flames gone, our warehouse guy and I tried but were unable to drag Mr Mattress out; it's love embrace was total and complete, now solidified by smoldering bits of goo, while bits of fabric were wound around the driveshaft as tightly as Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman costume. Yes, we a re bit jealous of said costume, but I digress. A flatbed took it to a shop where they scraped bits off the driveshaft and other undercarriage bits and replaced the muffler which now was coated with Mattress Stuff. $800 later with a new, rumbly Flowmaster exhaust in place we had the Cherokee back in action. There was a residual stink for a week or two and some asshat stole one of the exterior trim bits.

Moral of the story - loose debris on the road sucks and those who transport Tijuana Style should be shot repeatedly and sterilized for good measure.

I've also dodged boxes and such while transiting twisties in the mountains on the Harley. Riding is not for the faint of heart.

TL;DR: His wife ran over a mattress.

So the tags that currently say "made of non-flammable materials" should actually say "made of INflammable materials?"

"...attached like a Serta Remora."

Best thing I will read all day, I reckon'.

Never did change mine out. Too busy racing Saabs to have time to focus on less important things.

I'm with you. Keep these "soon to be raising in value" vehicles in original condition!!

Saw that movie last weekend. Had no idea who Gal Gadot was. Looked her up on IMDB.com. 32 years old and mother of 2 kids. Pretty amazing. Some very beautiful women come from Israel. Look up Moran Atias from "Tyrant", was also a guest star babe on Rules of Engagement.

(cue Kalash to come in and post mostly nekkid pics of Eastern European dumpling makers currently living in Snotsdale)

62 in a 45, rural VA secondary road on my Triumph. Beautiful fence work 16, 18 feet from the road, with a turkey vulture for a finial. He chugged of that fence with impeccable timing and course. I saw his underarm hairs while I (okay, the bike did it) swerved around the 1/3 deer carcass the vulture was there about.
Glad I don't have a 911 story comparable-- getting that driver's seat out and cleaned would be expensive.
Glad you're okay, Schnell!
