Default Blown Away!

This is the Blown Away thread. What kind of goodies have you lost out of you JK while cruising down the highway?
Pets, parts, and persons - it's all game here!

Life Was Good
Last week I came home from a ball game only to realize my "Life Is Good" tire cover was missing. My wife & kids gave it to me for fathers day, I liked it.
I was pissed, I thought somebody stole it.

Then I started thinking about how fast I was going...
Hmmm I wonder if it blew off at the edge of triple-digits?

Anybody else lost items of value at excessively high(way) speeds?

That is AWESOME!!!

I've lost a rubber rear mat...picked it up and threw it back in.

Oh yeah, and the sticker on the softtop header must have 'blown away' too...

I wonder if a Scooby Snack would entice my neighbors dog into the back seat of my Jeep?
