Quick read here. I'm following Royce home from the Pool Hall tonight, and I suddenly see him make a quick swerve. I get about as far as "Why did he..." when I see what initially looks like a trash bag. Royce was able to straddle it (kinda strange though because his Civic sits lower than my Coug...) and miss it, I couldn't swerve in time and I feel this loud impact, the left front felt like it came off the ground, another loud BANG, the exhaust rattle a little, then no more. I pulled into the nearest parking lot, and got out to survey the damage. I look under the car, and while the suspension looks good (missed the trans case by about 4 inches, thank god), there is a very large dent in the underside of the car near where the drivers feet would be I would guess. The damage continues back, with several large scratches in the exhaust, but no dents thankfully.
Once I knew the car was mechanically sound, I hauled ass back to where the object was. I found a very large rock, probably larger than a football, sitting in the turn lane next to the lane I was in. Nearby was a medium sized garbage back that was obviously intentionally wrapped around the rock (I could see the knot from where they tied it together). The rock itself has a huge scuff on it from its journey under the car.
So I feel very certain that some punk kids thought it would be funny to set this rock in the road and disguise it as a garbage bag, then sit back and watch the carnage. I couldn't see anyone nearby, but so help me God if I ever could find them. I am so infuriated its not even funny, Royce honestly was scared when he saw the rage on my face, I probably could have ripped a lightpost down I was so pissed. Thats one thing about me. My car may look like a big hunk of ****, but if you **** with it, I will unleash the fury of hell on you. If I could ever find the punk bastards who put that rock there, I will do things to them that would make Al Qaeda step back and say "Hey now..."
Here's a couple pics, best I could do with the darkness.
Scuff on the subframe from the inital impact.

Scratches on the exhaust (how it didn't rip that off I'll never know)

I'll get a better look at it after the sun comes up and update if I find any further damage.
Goddamn punk ass little douchenozzles!
