Busted up oil pan

So my wife was on her way to GA on Thursday when she hit a large piece of metal that was in the middle of the road. I'm not sure what it was but it looked like it came off of an 18 wheeler. I tried to post a pic of it but it wouldn't load. Here are some pics of what it did to the oil pan. She had the car towed to Sutton Acura in Macon and they had the car done and out the door the next morning. Excellent service and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Anyways, on to the pics:
Here is a pic of the piece of metal that was just left in the middle of the road!!

Woww that just straight destroyed your oil pan, must have been a huge piece of metal. Question are you lowered at all? I know my friend in a slammed Accord always busts his oil pans but hes practically scraping on coilovers and I've never seen his break as badly as yours was.. Glad to hear that it was fixed in the quickness though.

holy shit.
did she hit it and then drag it around for a while or did it shoot out the back of her car immediately? how fast was your wife driving?

OMG....that's a hell of a chunk taken out. I'm glad everything worked out OK.

When she hit it it just KO'd the oil pan and shot out the back. It actually didn't hit anything else on the way out though. She was driving 70-75 on I-16 in Dublin, GA.
