    I just had my scare for the year!

    Coming home from tanning, I was behind a truck (no not tailgating - there was a good distance between us). I don't really know what happened except that all of a sudden one of the tires in the BED of the truck landed directly in front of me.
    I couldn't swerve or stop because of the traffic so I had to run over it. Somehow I ended up on two wheels (the driver's side) and hit my head on the window/roof. Then I heard a LOUD noise. (Tire hit the side of my car.) It scared the crap out of me!

    I started to pull over but by then the nerves (and tears!) kicked in -since the car was running ok and since I wasn't but a few blocks from the house- I just drove on home.

    I'm still shaking and teary eyed but thankfully ok!

    Oh man, Zippy. Wow, I'm glad you are o.k.
    That is so scary. Seems like you were cool under pressure
    though. I am so glad you weren't hurt.

    Please have a nice, peaceful evening with K'cee & Piper o.k.?

    OMG!! I'm sooo glad you're ok! How scary.

    My brother had a similar thing happen to him, once. The STARTER fell off of the car in front of him, hit the pavement then somehow bounced up and smacked his car right above the windshield on the actual frame of the car. If it had gone through the windshield I don't think he'd be around.

    Sit back, relax and just breathe!

    Gosh and I thought it was gunna be a hyper-Piper tail - errr tale! Glad you are okay, if a bit shaken-up. Go pet that silly boy bunny for me, okay - there's nothing quite as soothing as when a bunny hunkers down for petting.

    WOW!



    GLAD you're *sorta* OK - hope that Bump onna Head
    doesn't start to bother you!


    Now about the CAR!

    Has Dad looked at it??
    Dents or Dings anywhere?

    And you SHOULD get it up on a lift rack -
    or over a grease & oil change PIT ~
    to Check for any Underside Damage!

    Did you get any kind of ID on the TRUCK that caused this?

    Maybe go back and retrieve the TIRE...

    And I'd consider callin da COPS - to at least Make a Report.
    IF anything is wrong with the car - your Insurance Company will
    want to see a Police Report.

    Most Important thing is that YOU'RE not hurt!

    And we'll all just *hope* the car isn't hurt, either.

    Sounds like you otta Kuddle wiffa Kat fur a while!

    Glad you are OK. What a scare! Cinder & Smoke & Phred got it right, you should notify the police. We had a major accident like that up here in WA, some furniture flew out a truck and hit a lady in a SUV, blinded her for life. SO GLAD YOU ARE OK!

    Have you thought about being a Stunt Driver?
