    Car question - Mazda RX-8

    Today driving down the interstate something off the back of the truck and hit my car. I noticed when I got home oil on my driveway. I'm not sure where it's coming from. Here's a photo of a hole I found in something in the front end of the car. Isn't the radiator because it's oil, not coolant. It's on the right and left side by either fog light. What is it?

    Did you get the car from the same dealer that sold Wonder Woman her invisible plane?

    No, I can't upload from tapatalk app apparently. I panicked and had a brain fart, it's the oil cooler

    All's well that ends well—as well as having random shit launched into your car from the highway can end, I suppose.

    That sucks. Glad you figured it out. My buddy was driving down the highway recently and a freaking lawn mower battery flew out of a dump ruck and lodged itself into his wind shield

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    I was driving out of state a few years ago and had a piece of drywall fly off of a work truck and smash my front windshield. The person actually stopped, led us to a toyota dealership, paid cash to have the window fixed, and gave me his girlfriend's car for the weekend while ours was in the shop.

    If this dude was a contractor or something, you should have gotten his name and contact info. If you ever need work done, you know someone who owns up to what needs done. That's like some top-tier stuff right there.
