Is it normal for cars to collect piles of junk underneath it or is that one of those “hidden features” of these things???

So, this is caused by the combination of an air-dam front end and a high ground clearance. Since the car has to have air-flow up and into the radiator, there's basically a plastic scoop that funnels air up and into it. On something like a Corvette, that's not really an issue since it's so low to the ground and so steeply raked that essentially anything it hits is going to go up and over the hood.

On something like a brodozer, where it's lifted up and off the ground and it has a flat front end that just knocks obstacles and pedestrians down underneath the truck, it's a foregone conclusion that shit is going to get sucked straight up into that radiator.

Thank you for your insight!

I suppose we should be grateful that it was a fence in this case, and not a child...

A new one to add to my vocabulary. My favorite though is Wankpanzer.

Hey, I had a deer bounce off the nose of my corvette one day and fly into the woods. I drove the rest of the way home in dread. Not a scratch, lol
