Well now I can add a little of my own.
No where near the pipe incident, but I took a full size tire/rim on the beeline during holiday traffic this weekend. Who knew an Xterra could jump a tire at 60mph.

I was in caravan formation behind two Jeeps and somehow, unbeknownst to me in the rear, there was a trie/rim combo sitting in our highway lane. All of a sudden I see the first Jeep, the only one who had a chance to see it, swerve crazily onto the shoulder, then the second Jeep, my sister's, swerve as much as she could (as she tried and failed to stradle it) and bounce around a little and then all of a sudden in my view, a tire/rim flies out from under the Jeep, pops up a little and flies right at the X. Luckily we were holding form pretty tight so it didn't have much of a chance to get high enough to come through the windshield. I had no time to do anything so I took it how it was served. It all happened so quickly, but I believe it hit the bottom of the bumper (just a tire print on the Shrockworks), went under, I jumped it too, and then there were a few fast jarring thumps from the undercarriage and then my side view mirror let me see it shoot out behind, bounce once and shoot up over the cars behind me. It bounced so high I lost it in the mirror until it bounced again on the shoulder and took off up the hilly road side.

I just knew something had to be busted, a wheel an arm, something. The lead Jeep knew it could be bad so he pulled over immediately and we followed. A little shook up we did an inspection for damage on the Jeep and the X but could visually see none.

Imagine if it had been a car, or if we had been further staggered. I guess, strangley enough, it was actually good that it was us.
