Angry Road Hazards Suck

I was driving from MV to Davis on Friday night. Right before the Benicia Bridge, in that part where there's no shoulders, there was a lot of traffic. And then all the sudded I see a 12" flying disc go under the tires of the car in front of me. Then it flew up and slammed right into my left headlight, and bounced on my fender. So now I have 3-4 scratches, one dent, and a scraped head light because some dumbf*** lost a hub cap. Pisses me off. I hate people who let s*** fall off/out of their cars. At least it didn't go through my windshield.

That sucks, man. I hit a rolling hubcap last Friday. Luckily, all I got was a sizable scratch on the bumper.

yeah, flying parts and road debris suck!!! that's why i hate driving on certain stretches of 880.

at least you didn't dump $ into EDM lights or that would've been REALLY bad.

File a complaint with CalTrans. Its their job to keep the roads clean, clear and safe. After all, you are paying for it.

PS: Caltrans has insurance for stuff like this, I'm told.

Damn... heads up for flying hubcaps... well in other news...

I was driving on Grimmer between Stevenson and Automall exits. And it was near midnight, and some idiot decided to toss a damn brick over his backyard fence. And it so happened it drilled the top of my car, like the very top of the car. And it left a dent that is 3 inches long and looks like this...

Which is gay.... F U K C ing gay... at least the brick didn't drill my windshield.

No possible way to figure out who did it since it was dark, and I don't even know which house it came from. =\

holy crap... east bound 580 going down dublin grade, big piece of metal in road and I run over it but no flat (I had no choice) 4 ... YES 4 cars with flats on the shoulder (ok maybe 3, but there were a lot of cars on the side and plenty had flats.) at the very end of the hill was the goobers with the truck that lost a piece of metal. I should have stuck around to see the people charge down the hill to get them
