Oh crap - I can't believe what just happened...
I leave the office tonight and jump on 101 southbound from San Tomas. I enter the freeway and just in front of me a bus explodes
I find myself dodging pieces of metal as they are falling off this wreckage as it's trying to get to the side of the road. I think I've got it made when a bowling ball size piece of twisted metal falls right in front of my car - I drive straight over it and I hear it tearing apart the underside of my car.
I make it to the side of the road all the time hearing this gawd awful noise. I hit my emergency flasher and get out to assess the damage.
My new GT2 bumper and lip are damaged, and I see all sorts of pieces hanging down below my car.
I called my shop and he sent out a tow. It's in the shop, but he had all of his lifts occupied, so I have no idea what sort of damage I experienced.
What a crappy way to start off the weekend
My crackberry doesn't have a camera, but here's a pic I took just last weekend:

Nobody on the bus except the driver - as it turns out, the bus was just purchased to be converted to an RV and the driver was delivering it to the shop for conversion...
I guess they purchased a lemon
Thanks everyone for the good wishes.
