My 2007 Honda Fit vs. Semi Tire

Hit it at about 75 mph. It was a full tread/tire lying on its side. Had cars on each side and couldn't avoid it. Car actually jumped in the air...landed on the front bumper and was like driving on ice. Besides the front-end damage, the engine runs rough, and a few mounts seem to be broken.

No fun. $1,000 deductible sucks, too. Completely amazed that the airbags didn't go off...then again, I never did take the Fit in for the SRS recall that was issued...although having the airbags stay off allowed me to keep the car under control after flying into the air.

I consider myself very lucky...felt like I ran over a horse!!!

You have to also keep in mind that that may have just been a flappy tire tread (which should not discount how dangerous that is), but what I hit was essentially a full tread on its side. Think if you took a 405/105/19 tire and laid it on its side...and then rammed into it at full-speed...that's pretty much what happened.
Damn, your Fit got jacked up. Glad you're ok.
damn mike, ur not having any luck with cars
Just a tyre from a semi does that.

Imagine actually hitting the semi lol

Sorry to hear about your incident, I'm sure you can buff it out.

No, I'm most definitely not!!! To top it off, my computer caught on fire the same day and caused my g/f's iphone to fry.

Absolutely! Can't imagine how bad that'd be.

:D I'm hoping it won't be TOO bad to get everything fixed.
Yes, your fit got owned. But as long as your fine thats all that matters.
honda fit's are funny...
ouch! that sucks bro! i remember when i hit a tire on the freeway with my dumped civic... pretty much the same thing happened except i couldnt open the door cuz the fender got fucked up too!
damn.. only if someone woulda caught the owner of the tire.. they would pay for a shit load of cars on the road
