No collisions and no loss of control of our car. I pulled off at the next exit and the bumper has some marks from the tire and it broke in a few places where it looks like it was designed to break it you hit something.

This makes 3 adrenaline pumping incidents on the interstate in 15 months.

Ditch the car and get one of these!
