So I'm driving on the highway... and I hit a HAY BALE. - Ðᶏ⇂ ⇃ᶏᶒ - Oct 19, 2017
Yes, a hay bale.
I reside on the east coast, in and around a major city but not too far (close zipcodes) from rural areas that have bigger farm industries.
I'm driving home from my programming class and as I look at my phone for one second BOOM, I see all this hay flying behind me, other drivers swerving around and I continue to drive and there are MORE hay bales all over the road.
Saw at least 3 other cars pulled over that hit the hay bale.

I'm gonna need to get a new bumper, new brackets for everything and a new (Under engine bay) belly guard

This kids is why you don't get on your phone and drive. Your car will get hit by a hay bale 🤝

If your bumper is polyurethane you can use a hair drier to heat it up and pop the dent out.

Front sway bar (thick metal) cut straight through the bumper.
It's actually a pretty serious looking blow to the bumper for such a shitty cause

At least your not like me.. I ran into the fucking wall on the highway and ran up a $2000 repair bill.

That sucks. A lot of people in my city look at their phones while driving. We live in a connected age.

Also.
I wasn't texting and driving, I didnt even turn my phone screen on. When I say looked at my phone I mean I physically just looked to see where my phone was (cup holder) and boom.
I'm a plenty decent driver I don't use my phone while driving, nor do anything else but really drive.
I also drive stick, ergo I'm forced to be intuitive and sharp

Ugh, I can't stand it when I'm just driving down the highway, minding my own business and a fucking hay bale ruins my day...
