Default Don't run over box end wrenches

Just driving down the street today minding my own business, then all sorts or racket under the truck and clanging noises. It sounded like the driveshaft fell out and I ran it over. I pulled off onto a side street to check things out. I couldn't find anything visually wrong with the truck, so I walk back to the scene of the incident. There is one 15mm box end wrench laying in the road. That thing put up a good fight, my truck has a scar on the cab mount. I ran it over with the front tire, it bounced off the cab mount, then I ran it over with the rear tire on some funny angle to cause the truck to jump a little. I got a new wrench now, at least its metric

No good. I also ran over a skateboard a couple weeks ago. The lower my truck gets the more I drive it like a monster truck.
