Man i try to stay as FAR away as possible from drivers in front of me when its winter time, to stay away from rocks being flung up at the front of my car etc..but there is SERIOUSLY no way to avoid them..uhh other than not driving at all i guess. But DAMN why the hell do people in front of ya always have to drive in the middle of the road where the rocks and sand are OR towards the curb where the rest of the rocks and sand are..cant they drive in the clear section? is it THAT HARD??..between that and our ****ty patch jobs our town is doing on potholes with rocks and **** everywhere ahh im having a nervous breakdown ..ahh ok i' done venting..jesus i get one chip in my paint and i'm having like a heartattack...but seriously i had my 2001 celica for awhile and i only had a few chips but with THIS car, the new 2004 one, ive had it since like mid january and its already got its first chip...ok im done for real now haha....i need to calm down

I was nailed by one salt truck in three spots. I was pissed. It's an eye sore to look at this.

I lost a genuine Veilside bumper this winter to some damn packed snow on a curb. Fockin fiberglass sucks in the cold. Only had it for 5 months too :( Urethane is my new friend.

When it's the summer and I got an extra grand to blow I never think about the winter. I'm sure I'll mod my winter beater too though :gap:

My truck's suspension has no give...no powersteering...and my seats are very springy. I must looking like some kind of crazy bouncy-ball when I'm going over rough roads. But still, I attempt to dodge.

wow, it's very rare that I see a truck actually dodge potholes. usually they are the ones who get pissed at my slow driving over bumps and holes, so they pass me over grass/sidewalks (depending on the road) :gap:

Rule #11 in the Basic Rules of Driving in New York

11. Learn to swerve abruptly. New York is the home of the high-speed slalom driving thanks to the State Highway Department, which puts pot-holes in key locations to test drivers' reflexes and keep them on their toes.
