Unfortunate Incident

 I had the craziest thing happen to me this week.  I was driving North on 435 headed to the temple.  I was in the far left lane. A car going South threw a soda can across the median, and it hit the front edge of the hood of my brand new van.  It exploded on impact.  It scared us, but we couldn't tell if it had done any damage.  When we got to the temple we saw that it bent the KIA sign and dented the hood.  There was soda everywhere.  The can turned into shrapnel and scratched the hood in multiple places.  Sadly, it took some paint off the van, so the warranty won't cover it.  They guesstimate that it's about $2500 of damage, so we have to go through insurance to fix it.  I'm so annoyed, but at the same time I'm grateful, because if the can would have been just a foot higher it would have gone through my windshield and caused an accident.  I didn't want the soda to bake onto the van, so I took it to a car-wash as soon as I got out of the temple.  Sigh.  I made an official police report, but I obviously don't think anything will come of it.  The pictures aren't great, but you get the idea.
