Hit a flying piece of drywall going 70mph on the highway. Took out part of my front lip and the glass on my driving light.

Now I have to figure out how to fix it.

I have a similar thing on my car. Massive chunk of frozen snow mass plowed in between lanes took out part of the lower bumper, the grill around the fog light, the wheel well liner, and broke a hole in the front right fender. Fortunately it's all plastic which apparently a body shop can "patch and weld".

Oh noes, that's the worst! I hit a flying piece of plywood once, and it did quite a lot of damage, so consider yourself lucky. My incident was a piece of plywood lying in the lane. When the car in front of me drove over it, the suction pulled it up behind it, so I didn't even have time to react. There's nothing like seeing something come at you at head-level at 80 mph. It's scary enough when it's a bug splattering on the visor of a motorcycle, so big solid objects are terrifying.

poo! I hit a snow turd, you know those big lumps of snow that build up in the wheel arch of every big truck and seem to fall of right in my path on the highway, and the damage was similar.

Same exact thing happened to me driving on I-5 about a year ago! Scary stuff...
