Yep, as the title says, no matter how careful you are, things happen. Today I was in the "slow" lane, cruising at 65 and minding my own business when out of the corner of my eye or the driver side mirror, I'm not sure which, I see a car coming at me. I swerved towards the railing but was unsuccsessful. I was hit at my rear wheel which dented the rear quarter panel and scraped the bumper where it wraps around. The rear wheel also shows wear all the way around the wheel. I must say that at no time did I feel the car get out of control or fishtail.

My wife says maybe I was there to save this guys life. If he had not hit me, he would have hit the center divider pretty hard. He said he was reaching for a bottle of water and the Mazda 6 went the direction of his grab. Who knows. I am heart broken at a silly dent and a screwed up bumper but thankful that at 65 mph, nothing of importance was lost. I believe more and more in these cars as I drive them.
