EMERGENCY STOP 2



Here we go again...

At about 11:35 AM CST, history decided to repeat itself.

Yup. That's right. We were going 80 MPH in the left lane when all of a sudden an immobile truck tire appeared out of the darkness. Dad did not have enough time to neither brake nor swerve, and the Odyssey took the blow directly.

That seem familiar? This time, tha poor, poor Odyssey took no mechanical or electrical damage, and dad's makeshift O2 sensor repair has held up even though the impact was on that side.

But the car did, however, sustain physical damage. The entire portion of plastic shielding in front of the front-right tire has been sliced into pieces. Dad's been able to push most of it back into place to keep it from dragging, though.

This time, we were lucky. Hopefully we won't have to go through this a third time.

It's lucky that there was no more mechanical damage. Let's hope the rest of your trip isn't filled with this kind of excitement!
