Description: Civic Si vs. Scrap Metal I was driving on the highway when the guy in front of me slams on his brakes. Trucks were in the next lane, so I did the same. A 3 foot long by 6-8 inch high piece of scrap metal was in the center of the lane. By the time I saw it appear from under the car in front of me, it was too late to do anything. The car lifted a few inches off the ground as it scraped along under the car. The tow hook took the brunt of the attack.
Surprisingly I was able to retain control. I was lucky to get away with so little damage. A ton of scrapes buffed out, and what remains visible looks like stone chip damage.
