when someone driving in front of you (especially a big a$$ SUV) drives in the burn over and over kicking up rocks and dirt all over your car!

I don't know why this happens more than other cars - probably because we are lower but you are right! It drives me nuts!!!! I can't stand getting sandblasted

More than anyone could possibly understand. I turn into a profanity-spewing, violence-threatening psychopath. It's hard enough avoiding all the shit on the roads normally, let alone when a truck or some titanic SUV throws 40lbs of gravel at the front of my car. I only have about 3700 miles on my car, and there is already a fine stone chip in the windshield.

YES. never drive behind trucks. I wish i could rid the roads of trucks and suvs.. they suck up too much gas, make the roads more dangerous..etc.. especially the H2!

trucks that actually do what they are designed to do, move shit around, can stay i guess..

I don't get it... if they are driving over the stuff... if you don't follow DIRECTLY behind them.. then the stuff just passes you by doesn't it? just drive in the other 2/3 of the lane offset from them...
