welll, headin to MD on nj tp south.......cruising along, turnin head to talk to passengers....its dark..night time...all of a sudden there is a piece of tire in the road...huge piece..far left lane(80mph)

piece had to stretch from yellow line to white dashed....anywho..unavoidable unless i wanted to flip over!

so i run over it...takes out lip, and ALL of my Undertray..when i say all.i mean all ......even the uffffking wheel wells...wtf!!....i can see right threw and pratcially change my hid's ...

 

I feel your pain brother... happened to my EVO twice. Heading to Jersey Chity for work in the early AM just driving along in the middle lane sipping my coffee and WHAM!!! tire re-tread takes out my lip, bumper and in the process rips my oil filter off so the dummy light goes off and I'm like WTF!! all fixed under insurance but I still had to pay my deductable.

about a year later same direction on the NJTP, this time heading to MA for work same damn thing happens except it doesn't take out my oil filter, just bends my oil cooler. Again insurance to the rescue.

Luckly I don't travel in my EVO a fraction of what I used to but still, you gotta love the NJTP!!

 

it happened to me in the talon last year... ran over someones bumper and that night there was also a bunch of scattered bricks in the road.... NOT fun... at least i only hit the bumper and somehow managed to miss all the bricks and ish....

jersey roads suck.......

 

this is exactly why capped tires need to be illegal. theyre a 100% waste of money and anyone who has half a clue of what they are doing running their business will realize how much of a hazzard they cause and it only prolongs what your going to need to do anyways, buying new damn tires. just do it right the first time and get new rubbers. just my $.02. im done now. ha

 

wow..those stories suck worse than mine....i hope nothing got bent in the process..it was to dark to see..car seemed to run fine, and didn't notice any leaks...will have to check this morning.

 

i hit a pothole at 25mph once.... tire blew, bent my rim to sh*t.... friggin rediculous..

 

Happened to me the 1st week I owned my Evo. Ran it over in the 3rd lane on 495 at about 75 MPH. It broke pieces of my undertray and my Zero Lift Kit lip was hanging on the floor. Luckily no damage other than paint damage to the front bumper but I had that repainted about 2 months ago but it still set me back a few hundred that I shouldnt have had to spend.

 

i thought it was crazy to have taken off the damn wheel well.....who even sells taht!!!

 

I was on the Parkway around 11:30 pm and im going 80ish and I see a whole family of racoons (5)... I cut across 2 lanes and BAM!! hit the one runnin back in the other direction. yea so now i have a bent up the lip on my 3 month old X.. guess im savin for some CF now...

 

sorry to hear that man. NJ definitely sucks, I've seen all kinds of road debris that should never be on the road.

 

jersey roads = fail...

killin our cars...and our wild life!.....not to mention all the dear i see on side standing there lookin....luckyly they weren't dumb enough to dart out
