Default This is probably a collision claim unless the rock was flying across the roadway and struck your car

I would probably be thinking the insurance route if I could, but having made a few claims for things in the road, I've realized that it's collision if you hit it even if it's not supposed to be in the road, unless it was a nonvehicle that hit your car instead of you hitting it (think flying hubcap or wheel coming at you...that's comprehensive).

Default It's how the inside vents spin that matters...

...while assuming the vents go the same way as the slots on these rotors you'd be right, the directional vents inside the rotors could be spinning the right way. The right way would be for air at the hub to thrown outward through the vents as the wheel spins.

Default Wait one minute. You are up to TWO HUNDRED TWENTY THOUSAND MILES now!?!?!

I know you were booking along, but WOW. When do you forecast hitting 250k, 300k? 310k is half a million kilometers, so that could be some kind of worldwide S4 record if you get there soon.

Default Actually, 222,000 now. Only doing about 25k a year lately.

The car and I are getting too old for long distance travel :-(

Default Sensor is the center tunnel. There are two - one each side (No, not the airbag controller!)

If the rock hit in the right place, this would explain the deployment you experienced.

Best,
