I hit a spare tire/wheel that had fallen out of the bed of a pickup with no tailgate. It heavily damaged two other cars, the last punting it my way but thankfully sliding on its side, not rolling or bouncing. I straddled it the best I could so it wouldn't tear my wheel off, but it caught my subframe as I killed the motor and coasted onto the shoulder to a stop. Broken radiator, broken oil pan, broken motor mount, bent subframe. Over $2000 in damage and it would have been much worse if I wouldn't have shut it down before stopping. This on a brand new car with 300 miles on it.

Some people are stupid, lazy, ignorant morons. They can win their own Darwin award, just don't risk others.
