On Sunday, I was cruising on the freeway in the second lane behind a Toyota Land Cruiser. I was at least 2 cars behind this SUV. When all of a sudden I see the car on my left slow down almost to a stop and the SUV in front of me swerve to the #1 lane. To my surprise there was a wooden chair (a teak backyard chair) on the lane I was in. I tried to stop to let the other cars both on the left and right pass me up. But it was too late, so instead of me getting into an accident with the other cars, I just went ahead and hit the damn chair.

The chair exploded into pieces instantly. As this was happening, I kept wondering what kind of frontal damage this chair made on my car. As soon as we arrived to our destination, I hopped out of the car and took a look at what impact the chair made.

Here it is:

The arm of the chair got stuck on the little grill. The damage, nothing major. The plastic of the grill that locks it in place broke and as you can see from the picture my plate is bent.

All in all, I was glad we didn't get into an accident and I am very happy to know that the H3 is indestructable (against a wooden chair). Haha

People should tie up their belongings!!!! :evil::rant:

lol, funny story. Thats pretty funny that a piece got stuck in the vent thing. i hope if a car appears suddenly infront of me, only a little piece is left behind after my 3 is done with it, just like ur chair

thats pretty intense...indians live in tents..(it sounds more funny when you actually say it than read it) anyway nice to see nothing really happened to the 3 besides the arm in the front vent, take it out see if it broke the vent, or bent it, or if the vent has just been moved out of place.
