I hit a tv today on the freeway in Michigan today and cracked the front lip of my kit. I could not believe it . Im driving and all of a sudden their is a tv on the freeway and pow I hit it doing 75 mph. I had to pull over on the berm just to get the damn tv out from under the chin. I get out and their sits a turn knob pos 13 inch tv all mangled up under the chin.

I will never ever go back to Michigan they have the absolute worst freeways I have ever been on . Ive been in Ny,Nj,La and many other cities. Sorry guys your freeways dont have shit on Michigan. I have never hit so many damn pot holes bumps in my life. By the time I got home todaY I had to get some damn ben gay from my back being so damn sore. Im sur eall the people from Michigan no what I am talking about!

Sorry about your car. What size is the TV? If its bigger than 20" I might take it off your hands...

drbeatty

Oh, I almost forgot - is it cable ready or does it need an antenna?

You should fix it and put it in your back seat for your rear seat passengers...then mount Playstation/DVD etc for their viewing pleasures..

Talk about a welcoming "reception".

People do some crazy things to get on T.V

Was there even a "remote" possibility of avoiding it?

I know I shouldn't laugh, but that is funny as hell.

chill out, it's not like you hit the tv...

I thought they were funny, like an Austin Powers' scene... "he picked a bad time to lose his HEAD"... "he'll never be the HEAD of a major corporation"

Don't make me send the Icy Hot Stuntaz after yo ass.

Thanks Jason. He's jealous he didn't get to them first!

acnup00tl

Come to think about it guys it is funny, But I just keep hearing me hit the tv and to my amazement for it being there. I was in utter shock to see that I hit a tv.

daverman

I guess that TV's life has just gone down the tubes. Its only wish was to dial laughing, but it ended up just being there for someone to channel his frustrations.

HDTV = Highway Debris Television.

I used to live in Tulsa, OK before I moved to Kansas City, and I am positive that there is more debris per square inch of asphalt in T-town than anywhere else in the country. Twice in six months I've picked up nails and screws on my tires. My car has gotten hit by flying pieces of glass and metal. Once I hit a whole BUMPER which someone has conveniently left lying in the middle of the road. I had to reverse to get that last road hazard out of under my car.

Maybe they should sweep the debris away when people have accidents on the road. Huh? Ya think?

I've only hit or run over birds, about 8 of them in the past 10 years. I feel really bad killing all those birds, however one good note is that I was doing about 85 mph each time so these bird never knew what hit them and consequently probably never felt any pain.

I let my friend drive my car a few weeks ago and it was at night and he ran over a dead squirrel. I'm thinking that's great I'm going to get rabies cleaning my wheels now!

*currently pissing in my pants from sheer hilarity*

I would post a corny remark but enough is enough...

My parents always said TV was bad for you....
Ok i couldn't help myself..

Texas is worse. I lost my prelude due to shit on the road. I was going about 80 mph on Hwy 59, and was in the leftlane. There was this piece of shit suburban in front of me, and i couldn't see around him. Anyways, so he swerves one lane to the right it was clear for him. all of a sudden i see a car bumper lying perpendicular to the road blocking off my entire lane. to the right were cars, to the left was the wall. my prelude was dropped, so i braked hard, then swerved right, lost control did a 360 at about 60mph, apparently my tires were bald cuz i had no traction, and i went 2 lanes over, but traffic was comign so i turned back to left. did another 360 then crashed head on into the wall. car got totalled. i walked away with airbag burns. i lost my ****ing car to that. anyways, so a few days later i'm driving my rented PICK UP truck (don't laugh), and i see like 3 2x4's on 59. its all these ****ing rednecks with their pickup trucks keep dropping shit all over the highway.in retrospect, i should have just rammed into the ****ing bumper instead of swerving. anyways, i'm glad nothing else happened to your car and more importantly you're safe.

i think insurance will hook you up with any damage, they did for me.

SL1200MK4

Yep..... hope insurance will pay for that...

black2000

I guess someone took those "Kill Your Television" bumperstickers a little too seriously...

Sorry, but this stupid joke came to me before I'd even read the others. I couldn't help myself!

Hope your car's OK!

I guess someone was watching TV on the freeway then.....

Hey man...don't feel too bad about it. People these days are so damn careless they drop shit all over the freeways. I ran over an aluminum ladder before...just slightly though. I've seen a pile of trash and ladders and beds on freeways before. You just have to keep more distant between cars so you can have time to react when you do see something in front of you.

I gotta tell ya, I'm LAUGHING MY ASS OFF. Just the title "I hit a TV" is funny. Maybe you can mount it in your visor...

genghis

Yeah, I was sure that "I hit a TV" was a typo for "I hit a RV", like a Winnebago or something.

At least it was stationary... I read somewhere that Florida leads the nation in fatal highway "debris accidents", with the most common fatality being due to metal poles coming loose off of flatbed trucks and impaling people through the windshield!

Sounds like the makings of a "hit" TV show.

I'm an insurance agent. I will like to hook you up with a client that I think will make a good match for you. About 6 months ago she ran into a sofa in the middle of the highway one night and totalled out her Buick. She's got the sofa and you've got the TV, match made in heaven!!

StreetEffectz

Sorry to hear you hit that, and I hope the car is okay, but I gotta say, that has got to be one of the funniest things I have read on here in a while....all I saw was "I hit a TV" and busted out laughing....

but seriously, hope all is well with the car.

SLVR TL

Nah, I think it's more like someone was moving and they happened to overload the truck.. and their TV fell off the truck. It sux tho... I hate it when you hit road debris especially when it's big like that.

I hit a friggin ladder on the fwy before in my previous car and I was pissed off.

Hey Adam, I hear the Icy Hot Stunaz got arrested for drinking. LOL. Also this TV appear out of nowwhere, how the hell did it get there.

daverman

ROFLMAO! This is priceless!

Anyway, one thing I've learned is to be extremely careful when following larger vehicles that block your view of the road ahead. When a large vehicle swerves away from in front of you, always assume that there is a BRICK WALL right in front of them. I almost hit a car which was stopped to make a left turn in a four-lane road because a truck in front of me swerved away to avoid it at the last minute.
