SOB Trucks and Grid Roads!
 

And so my anger has rised! :cussing:

Recently I was driving on a my grid road, which I usually travel down once or twice a week. It is 7 miles long. On average, I just pace at 30 km/h. If I'm in a bit of a rush, then maybe, MAYBE, 50 km/h.

Anyways, a few days ago, I was just minding my own business, when this damn trucker decides to pull out in front of my on the grid. I slowed right down, and he must have :cussing: floored it because all I saw was stones flying at me. I checked my car immediately after getting home - The whole front bumper, hood, and fenders are full of paint chips right down. I am pissed! They are all deep gouges in the paint, and there are about a dozen on the hood, and well more than that on the bumper. And there are a good combined dozen on the fenders.

From a distance you cannot notice, but when you get within a few feet it is extremely noticeable. My paint was damn near perfect! I am just surprised that it did that much damage that quickly!!

I'll be posting pics of this tomorrow... :(

P.S. - I have nothing against truckers, as my father and brother are both truckers and I tend to hop in one for a week or two for some extra cash :cool:

Happens all the time over here. My MS bumper ha chips in it when it was brand new. I don't have the money to clear bra it right now, which sucks. I'm a truck driver myself and rock chips are easily kicked up by the big tires especially when accelerating. I do it all the time if I get the chance and the person driving the car in front of me or whatever is being an idiot or had previously cut me off. Gotta love pushing 27 pounds of boost and zooming by cars like they're parked :)
