Tree in the road + G35 = some f'ed up $hit

I just got back from gtown....on my way back i was taking 66w and all of a sudden I see a tree...looked like a christmas type tree... but it could be something else..anyways it was big in the middle of the road. On my left was a tour bus... when i saw it I was probably about 10 ft from it. Nothing I could do.. didn't want to jerk the car off to the shoulder because of the excess amount of rocks... momentum might have sent me off the road so I hit it. Damages seem to be front passenger bumper.... hood... all scraped up. Passenger headlight all scraped up. I wonder how much this will cost out of my pocket...

See you guys when this is all over with.

Damn Lek dude sorry to hear. These sorts of things happen though. At least it sounds kind of minor and nothing too big. Get it fixed and get back on the road.

What up with all these random sh|t people leave on the road? My lil brother just hit a wooden box some sh|thead dropped in the middle of the road. There's not much anybody can do to avoid these things. You're probably better off just hitting it them trying to swirve and maybe loose control . Sorry to hear about your G LEK. Hope it won't cost you too much.

I had a lady merge into my lane where I was the other day on Rt.70. I laid on the horn but she just kept coming over and talking on her cell. I braked so she would end up in front of me. Completely oblivious.

Yeah that happens to me alot in VA and back home in SC. I just slow down and get in the next lane and speed up, down the window, blow my horn, give em the finger or exchange words or the ppl's stare and haul azz and cut em off and go on about my business. I know I know, that **** will get me in trouble one day, but it just pisses me off how some ppl drive around here while on cell phones and are completely oblivious to what else is going on around them. Notice I only do this in VA (the sane parts), not MD, cuz you ****'s are crazy and most of them dont know how to drive anyway and I aint trying to reinvent the wheel of driving over there. I guess that is why car insurance is higher in MD than in VA?

Yeah this reminds me of the donut spare tire and rim in the road in the dark.I think people do this on purpose.I do see people hauling trash to dumps and stuff on the highways they should only be able to use back roads or side streets .They shouldn't be able to use highways.I have see mattresses and things on the road too.
