I was driving to work at 5:20 am this morning on I-66 east here in northern Virginia. A trash truck in the right lane about 75 feet ahead and to the right of me drops a cylinder-shaped object in the road, in my lane. It goes underneath my 2011 95 T4, making a real racket as it moved from front to back. It was definitely heavy. I was surrounded by cars on 3 sides and another garbage truck on my right, so no where to go. Thankfully, it wasn't far to International Motors in Falls Church. They took me right in and gave the car a thorough check. The verdict: cracked turbo intercooler, busted up front bumper skin, temp sensor gone. Approx. $1800. I've had better Fridays. But on the bright side, I might not be writing this had the object taken another bounce up and through my windshield.
Really bummed...just bought the car in June. Oh, the waste disposal service denies the truck I described is one of their's.
Anyway, my public thanks to Blair and all the guys at International for helping me on a Friday.
