Default hit a truck tailpipe section in the middle of the highway

ripped off the plastic belly pan and dented in the fuel return line right next to the fuel lines.

Default Pushed the top of the shock tower into the engine bay.

It didn't break through the sheet metal, but it left a huge bump and bent the firewall.
