Coming home from work yesterday evening (35 mile commute), a guy in an F150 (I think) was passing me. Just as his rear bumper came even with my door, he lost traction and his back end came toward me. I tried to avoid him, but he still managed to tag me with his rear bumper on my front one. That set me into a slide. He got straightened up and kept going... I ended up in the median, backwards, with the rear wheels buried in the mud. Luckily, a guy in a RAM 4x4 stopped and pulled me out. Saved me a wrecker bill, which that money will now go to repairing my busted front valance and whatever else got messed up. The truck is trashed with mud all over and under it. I also noticed that I now have a thumping metal-to-metal sound in the right front when I hit a bump, so most likely a busted shock or lost a sway bar bushing. Great...
