Last month I was following a friend of mine at about 85mph down the freeway when all of a sudden he swerved off the the side and I saw a 5 gallon paint barrel. My first thought was just hit, don't kill your self trying to get out of the way. So i hit it. I was lucky it was empty. The passenger in my friends car said that it was amazing. I was in the far right hand lane and the bucket went airborne and cleared 10 lanes of traffic and a grass median before it came down about 50 feet on the other side of the freeway. The only damage i had to my car is a 2 X 4 inch scuff in the paint on the front corner.
