I'm sure this has happened to y'all tons of times but it was a first for me

on my commute today a truck two lanes over kicked up a rock or pebble and it hit me right above my temple! ouch!
no damage done but I did check for blood!
first time my wife rode in it she said 'I feel like I should be wearing a helmet' - maybe I should too!

I was once driving on the freeway behind a car that lost its drv side front wheel.
The car pulled very quickly over to the right and got out of traffic.

I watched the wheel (travelling at my speed 55 MPH) cross a giant grass median and hit a (I think it was a Z car) dead center in the front bumper (combined speed of ~100 MPH) and shoot STRAIGHT UP until I lost sight of it.

About 2 seconds later it came back down and hit the ground directly in front of another car a few cars back from the first (with taller bumpers).
That car climbed UP the WHEEL and LEFT THE GROUND before crashing back down.

I didnt get to see the aftermath of what happened, but there were at least two cars full of people that had to clean out their shorts...
