Car: a car being parted out
Engine: blown up
Transmission: in peices
Looks like a solid F3 to me.

Nice pic. It also looks like a sister was coming down, did it ever materialize? or just vaporize out?

when you see one pop down that you cannot see around, get scared... VERY scared... otherwise try to determine the travel angle and go perpendicular (right or left) and you'll be ok. Very rarely do they go more then 20-30* of travel off of their forward path.
