Exclamation Road Damage..View at your own risk!!!

Hey everyone. I was driving home a few weeks ago from a road trip on Hwy 20 east of Seattle area in my '04 ZR. One of the most beautiful drives in the country IMO. I had JUST gone over 1200 miles. Anyways, I was about 20 miles from home when a duelly Ford pick-up (no mud flaps of course) kick up a stone and cracked my windshield on the passenger side. It started out around an inch in length, and by the time I had returned to my house it had grown to almost 9 inches.

I thought this would be a great place for those of you who have some sort of road damage to display your pictures. As sickening as it is, it would be a great opportunity to show your damage and perhaps explain what you may have done to get the problem/damage fixed. Mine was a simple windshield replacement covered (mostly) by insurance.

Z you later..

Coming home from work the other day, I run over a piece of tire in the road. Small but I heard it hit the wheel well and then saw it bounce down the road behind me.

I kept hitting them like a trail of bread crums. I get up the road and there is a chevy pickup with a trailer on the back. The trailer had dual wheels (not duallie) on either side. One of the four tires was shredding and this guy just keeps on going. Pieces are pelting the car in front of me and flying out to the side (otherwise I would have passed him). He goes up the road signals, turns...and keeps going!!! No pulling over to fix or remove the problem. What an a$$.

Probably wanted to finish his beer before he pulled over.
