Another scratch on my car!!!

[neK]

Has anyone else experienced this?

While I was driving thru the M5 tunnel yesterday i felt a very minor minor bump.

Later on the evening when i got out to check there was a scratch/scrape on my rear bumper down to the plastic.

The best I can describe it is that it looks like a scrape from another car at low speed (ie car parking scrapes), except it wasnt from that.

I was doing 80km and something hit me in the M5.

The first time that happened to me was early this year, and I was in the left lane (hence it got my rear bumper on the left hand side), this time I was in the right lane (and it got my rear bumper on the right hand side).

The scrapes are identical.

I definately know the scrape wasnt there on Tuesday nite, cos i washed my car, and the following day I parked on the street. It was only after I went on the M5 tunnel and got home that I noticed it.

Any idea wtf is causing this to happen? There goes another $100 down to drain to get this repainted.

A piece of shredded tyre left on the road maybe ? they can do alot of damage.

Last year I had a guy in Subaru Impreza RS throw what must have been a 20c piece at my car after we raced each other heading onto the South Western motorway around Kyeemagh (must have ****** him off). Needless to say it left a nice scratch on my passenger door. He did it just as I was turning off heading towards General Holmes Drive, so he's lucky I didn't get his plates.
