    Highway hockey anyone?

    Got a chance to play highway hockey with two pucks tied together.
    Made for an interesting ride home today.





    Wheels have “Rhino” on them.

    The truck with fifth wheel tried to avoid it too and sent it to me on opposite side of two lane highway.
    End over end of course.

    By the time I stopped on paved shoulder on my side of highway, it was wedged under the car.
    The jack made removal easy and allow quick inspection for damage.

    Made it home no problem.

    Keep your eyes open with crap half assed packed into trucks and cars.

    That really mucks. Shame when people don't secure their load.

    If this forum can't fix it, it isn't broke.

    The dent in the oil pan is wild. It could have ended so much worse for you and the car.

    Re: Highway hockey anyone?

    That SUX!  I picked up a piece of scrap metal with one of my truck tires a few weeks ago.  That scrap had a 1/2" bolt in it and poked a 1/2" bolt hole thru my tire!  Only had 10000 miles on it!! GRRRRR!!
