anybody else getting a million rock chips today

[85regal]

wow, can the city put down any more gravel on the streets?? I'm not getting it too bad but i'm in a truck and i know i'm hitting cars with rocks all over the place.

[max_boost]

I'll be captain obvious and say it's expected since we are in the middle of winter.

[Fado]

Ill be Captain Logical, and say that the amount of rocks on some of the roads are a little extensive. They are making like 10 passes on the same roads, and thanks to that I need another windshield this spring, and the front of my car repainted. Sweeet!

Get 3M/ricochet for your car and AMI glass insurance for your windshield.

Rather have a few rock chips here and there than slide into a pole and fuck up my car.

I for whatever reason didnt opt for 3M when I bought my car from the dealership (even though I had it on my other cars) because I didnt want it to affect the reflection off of the paint like it did with the others, although now Im regretting it with the swiss cheese bumper im getting on my 06 Honda. Im going to look into the AMI though, thanks man .

We should just have a Mandatory Snow Tire law so that those of us who actually prepare for winter with proper tires (mmm Q rated) dont have to worry about getting rear ended by some dumb broads grand prix with shit all seasons AND so the city doesnt have to create gravel roads with all the rocks they dump on em so that that dumb broad can drive to work.

Snow Tires being Tax Deductible FTW! haha

Id support that ( Kumho KW19's FTW) but I think we already went over this in another thread.

Rear mudguard helps a bit and should be mandatory on new vehicles. For lifted trucks, they need even bigger mudguards.

Lol seriously?... is it a company car or something?... KW19s FTMFW!!!

And yes, there are waaaay too many rocks on some roads. On some roads, yes it can be expected, but its just nuts out there today... sounds like my car is being shot by a machine gun hahah.

[BigMass]

they should clean up the roads twice a year. Once about 1/2 way through winter during a long chinook period like... now.. and again at the start of spring.

And people wouldnt need to always change lanes if people werent driving 50km/h on Crowchild.

[TeamBestBud]

Ok dude. I take back what I said. I just got home and holy hell it was like driving through a gravel playground. There are SOOOO many rocks on the road its not even funny

[rc2002]

First everyone bitches that they're not plowing and sanding. Now people are bitching because there is gravel.

The gravel seems to be a lot bigger than usual. But what do you expect? This is Calgary.
