I Hate F@#%ing Gravel Trucks

It finally happend, my Cobra got it's cherry popped the other day in a big way with two rock chips out of the hood and windshield. I am surprised my Cobra has gone this long without any chips or dents to speak off. The car has been in my possession for almost two years with about 10K on the clock and only a repaint for the bumper because some ass clown parked on my bumper with his 4x4, other than that nothing, nada, no door dings or scratches not even any black tar spots.



It happend as I was driving down the highway to my soccer game the other day. I entered the highway and a gravel truck speeds by which I knew was trouble already because I could see small pieces of gravel and dust floating off the truck, so I pulled as far away from him as possible and tried to speed past him and as I did this 2-3" rock drops off the truck and it seems like time stood still because I could see the rock in slow motion bouncing along the highway getting closer and closer to my car. I could not do anything about it because the rock was in my lane and I was trapped like rat with nowhere to go. The first words out of my mouth were Oh F#$%! followed but some more choice words and then BANG! BANG! As I lifted my head, yes I ducked like a girl because for some reason I thought a 2-3" rock could blast through the windshield and hit me, it could happen and you know you have done the same thing before. Anyway to make a long story short the car ended up with a quarter inch chip to the hood and 3 tiny chips out of the windshield (no cracks just chips). I guess I was lucky it did not rattle around the inside of car since I did have the top down.
