I'm glad you got by unscathed! Your story reminds me of my test drive in my Crossfire. I had just pulled onto I-35 in Overland Park, KS just at the beginning of rush hour. I was driving about 65-70 mpy and was about seven car-lengths behind the pickup in front of me. All of a sudden, a stove falls out of its bed and parts went flying everywhere as it slid down the highway.

There were cars to the left, cars to the right, and headlights in the rearview mirror. I just slowed down at the same rate stove slowed down and prayed that the driver of the truck behind me was paying attention. As you know, there's not much distance between the rear bumper and the seats. Luckily, nothing hit the body of the car and we were able to change lanes and get on our way. My heart, as well as the salesman's, were racing.
