Default ice damage

While driving home the other day a huge piece of ice flew off a transpot truck an smashed into my front end. I saw the ice lift off the trailer everything went into slow motion there was nothing i could have done, I was passing the truck driving about 120 kph. It could have been alot worse, I found a new grill for 60 bucks but heading to junk yard to look around there.

Thats scary. Last year I was driving my saturn about 85 mph and a chunk of wood came off a logging truck that i was passing and hit right above my windshield. It put a big dent there but it was scary watching the chunk come off the truck bounce and come right at me and there was nothing i could do. Just kinda put my arm up and ducked my head.

Glad you are alright.
You're also lucky it didn't penetrate your radiator. I'm had a rock take out my radiator on my camary before (not as scary as your exp.)
