There was at least a 12' ladder in the middle of 494 (one of biggest interstates here in the Twin Cities) and I almost hit it. It was the beginning of rush hour and people were darting left and right at the very last second and there were cars on both sides of me; I locked it up and luckily the car to my left was going fast enough that it was perfect timing, I jerked to the left as soon as I saw the bumper of the other car and just missed that damn ladder by feet.

I called the state patrol and let them know they needed to get that thing out of the road before someone got killed; that thing was no joke.

I am very glad your son was OK; and thank goodness he didn't just instinctively go to one side or the other and caused a really bad wreck with another vehicle.

A moment of silence is in order for your Yaris... lol :)

Wow! Almost 2k in damages . . . . .yeaahhhhhh . . . I'm going to be keeping my collision insurance. lol Since I paid for my car in full, I'm not required to have full coverage, but it seems completely necessary for our cars!

I ran over a fire hose once in my AE86. Interesting ride to say the least. I don't know how things work in SC, but in CA you can put a damages claim to CalTrans, if you feel that the damages occurred because they didn't keep the road clean. I've never heard of someone putting in a claim but the option is there.

am i wrong to think that 2000 is a little too much for just the front end?
