Underbody Cover

Yesterday while driving I heard a BOOM, then something scraping. I pulled over thinking I got something in a tire, however nothing looking damaged. I looked under the passenger side of the Mini and there was a piece of metal rebar stuck in the underbody cover. I pulled it out and saw a decent size hole in the cover, but no other damage. I definitely lucked out!

OH, You made me cringe...

Ouch, when I see things fall off of trucks becoming roadway FOD, I find I just don't have enough middle fingers to express my displeasure at the responsible operator.

Motor on!
