UPDATE: Sorry for the late update. I had the car on lift this past Saturday and the only thing major was the oil pan. Unfortunately, the rock took a small chunk of metal with it along with the underbody cover. It was right next to the drain plug, but I was surprised that there was no leak at all. The thing that was hanging from underneath was part of the underbody carriage cover, which was not a big deal.

Wow you sure had some luck or something else with you! Good to hear there was nothing major broken.

man if I hit a rock that big my entire front bumper would be cracked in 1/2. Then, I'd probably cry.

I was very surprised that the front was not even touched. After seeing the aftermath on the oil pan, I wanted to cry. Fortunately, I was told that I did not need to replace it and that made me smile a bit.
