Taking a trip and had a tire with the hub assembly and all still attached fly off a U Haul trailer. It bounced once then smacked my hood and windshield right in front of me. This thing took it like a champ and possibly saved my life. Windshield took 0 damage. Its hard to tell with the color but the hood is pretty dented up. This car did a great job couldnt be happier. I put 25K miles in a year on it and the hood was pretty beat up so I guess getting a new one isnt a bad thing and maybe this is the call I needed to get the carbon fiber hood I've been considering.

Go for it - Sounds like your pon-e has earned it.

Holy flying tire, Batman! Happy to hear such positive results from what might have been a lot worse. Maybe it was a message from the Universe:

Casey: Man, I don't know, I'd really like a new carbon fiber hood, but...

Universe: Stop vacillating, Casey. Here's a decision maker for you (makes U-Haul lose tire)

Casey: EEEEEK! *tire hits car* Oh man, I'm so lucky!

Universe: Casey, there's a sale going on now on carbon fiber hoods. You're welcome.
