Naaah. It’ll buff right out.
Tell your friend to take his protein pill and put his helmet on. He’s good to go!

I love those videos, sadly they raised the bridge, so it doesn’t get “fed” as much as it used to.

If it was damaged by a low overpass, and big enough to require a lead escort, more than one person messed up.
