    On a road trip to Zion national park and Lake powell and saw what looked like paper or a bag in the air on the highway. Turned out to be a spinning 8" chunk of firewood someone had lost. I heard a big "THUNK" and thought oh well, more reasons to get a plate bumper, except the damn thing hit the headlight perfectly and shattered the clear housing. blah... I used packing tape to seal it up and had to replace the turn signal bulb. the shock broke the filament. Dealer in Vegas quoted $350 for the housing. Ouch! :eek:

    Did you get that on HWY 89? That is one crazy ass road. Last time I was down there the I was being pushed to go 85+ by guys towing huge boats with jacked up trucks.
