Default I'm furious! Messed up my lip...

Somebody blew a tire on I-75 south around SR-681 just south of Sarasota... Needless to say, the Jeep Cherokee I was behind did not swerve to avoid the HUGE tire tread in the road, and I subsequently DESTROYED my beautiful new lip on my car..

I'm so damn upset, lol. I'm going to keep drinking now.

sh*t that would suck.. I just replaced my front bumper to make it perfect again! Although, if the lip was not there, the bumper would be screwed, so I guess it's a good thing... I'm a miracle worker with putty and spray paint, so I'll post some pix once I have it fixed (again).
