    Holy cow! No kidding! :yikes:

    I have to say, I just got a chuckle:
    This thread just reminded me of the time waaaaaaaaay back when I was in high school. My boyfriend at the time drove a beautiful Chevette (snicker). Anyway, A Uhaul was at a stop light in front of us and hadn't pulled down the door. On top of this, they didn't bother removing the washing machine (the lone item in the back) from the dolly they had used.
    Anyway, when the light turned green and they stepped on the gas, the dolly, with it's washer, shot right out the back of it and my bf rammed right into it. Ha! Ha! I couldn't stop laughing. Still can't :lol:

    :cornut:(08 R56 MCS JCW) 2yrs ago(@ 20kmi), took a BFR(big frigging rock)right down the middle @ 70mph. I heard a very expensive sounding loud 'DING' but Margi continued driving and operating normally. Checked under her at home and some how the damage was only to the CAT,3in x 1in x 1in longitudinal dent. She continues with excellent performance and passes inspection so I haven't done any thing about it(now 48kmi). As it was 2yrs ago and no problems yet, I'm just going to wait for it to wear out. Any thoughts from the more savvy Miniacs?:Thumbsup:
