Ran over a rock
 
Yesterday I was driving, and I heard a loud DING in my tire and it sounded as if a rock flew off my wheel and onto the side, I'm hoping it didn't hit under the car and caused something to break. So far I have no idea what damages a rock could cause to my vehicle so I'm not sure if there's anything wrong. And driving it today I didn't sense any problems whatsoever. Going to go under the car tomorrow and check to see if there's any damages.

Is it possible for the rock to just fly off the wheel without getting under my car and damaging something?

I had that happen, except that it was a big ol' bullfrog that came up out of the swamp on I-10 south of Baton Rouge. It must have been mating season or something, because there were bullfrogs all over the road. Better that than the alligators I see mangled up along there sometimes.

I saw him jumping and couldn't swerve in time. I heard him bounce all down the underside of my car. I was pretty bummed about it, because that frog would have been delicious.

Someone should diagnosed you with Paranoid Schizophrenia.

You should be fine.

Unless it performed the people's elbow, in which case your car may be down for the three count.

These cars are just freaking noisy. Nothing to worry about.

I'm OCD by nature, so for the first few weeks I was checking like crazy for body damage. Eventually I just got bored. Sometimes it sounds like someone's taken a baseball bat to the side of the car. Sometimes the car ahead of me on the freeway will bounce a bit of gravel off my cabin roof. Sounds like a .22 shot. And then nothing. Still clean.

Don't worry about it.

Just for perspective, take some friends for a drive and watch them drag their muddy shoes across the door sill before kicking the speaker cover. F&@k...

When people get in my car there's always this loud sound that their foot hit against the side bottom door panel which makes me think, what the actual hell did you just hit with your foot.

And yeah the speaker thing too. #$O@O#PKD


That's why I don't let many people get in my car anymore.

I'm still going to check tomorrow though just in case

Make sure you post the results first thing after you take a look. We are all concerned and dying to find out. As a matter of fact, I may lose sleep because of this.

How do you know it was a huge rock if you didn't even see it? How do you know it wasn't a frog?
