I have crazy luck... sometimes bad, sometimes good. I suppose better than no luck.
Driving over the Grapevine on the 5 Northbound I tried to go around some fellow motorists. As you all know these cars have their own gravity. As in attracting satellite cars hovering with cellphones plastered to windows. Not a complaint! Just an observation.
I shall now begin to complain. For those not familiar, the Grapevine is a mountain portion of Interstate 5 North of LA. It can be a nice drive.... I was trying to lose the nice folks appreciating my ride and slid into the truck lanes to the right side of the freeway. 2 seconds in I knew it was a bad call. Bumpy, uneven pavement and I was, well, over the speed limit. Looking to slip back over I just caught sight of the dark lump sitting on the road. There was no choice and we ate it. A big bang followed by intermittent scraping. Time to pull over.
Now that luck I mentioned... Not good but of all the options, and it seemed time travel was off the table, it could have been worse. Much.
In the end only cosmetic damage and not visible. My friend kindly remove the large trailer hitch shank of 2x2 steel while I quietly wept, on the inside....
