Very close call to a tragic accident. Saturday morning, jumped on the express way driving 70mph in fast lane. As I move to next lane to pass up the SUV in front of me, I notice this object heading straight for my windshield. This object was a full size truck tire which must have fallen off a truck from the opposite side of the expressway. I just remember seeing it bounce once in the fast lane, then shoot like a rocket at me. I made the quick decision to move right and then left to correct the car. I have to say it handled beautifully. Just perfect. Almost made the mistake of hitting the brakes for a second, which made the tires screech. Lucky day! Thought I would share my close call.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My 996 has the been the first "nice" car I have owned. I have had to dodge more debris in the road than any other of the cars I did not care about. Its like it knows I am paranoid about screwing up my car. For instance, the other day, I was going down the highway and a truck carrying house paint spilled onto the highway. It had splattered or misted all over the car, especially around the windshield and side skirts. I knew I couldnt do anything about or try to get the guys insurance because he was an illegal alien I was sure of, he probably didnt speak English, so I am stuck to get the crap off. I feel ya'
M, Glad you (and your car) survived the incident. Just curious, where were you when this happened? (Which city/interstate?)
Happy to hear you're okay. Is it just me or do you think that safety inspections on trucks seem to have gotten more lax? I'm constantly ******* chunks of retreads that have come off trucks...very dangerous if you clip one at highway speed.
How do you know?
I know because of a list of things that I will not list here and and hijack someones thread. Please, I am not trying to offend, just speaking from a lot of personal experience.
No worries or offense taken, I was just curious...
