Another rig to give plenty of room to is any flatbed hauling loaders or any earthmoving equipment. I was behind one going down the grapevine and when it hit a bump gravel flew off the flatbed or loader and all over the highway...

That dirt is high iron content which you can tell by the oxidized red iron. Hawaii has the same and it really stains paint if left on.

I used to perform nuetral drops and ebrake rips @ 70 mph to a stop so he'd have flatspots driving home. I was an angry kid in my late teens...
This guy used to yell at me all day then scream some more and send me on errands in his car....lol big mistake.

I did neutral drops (with foot on the brakes)..... and I didnt realize it was a front wheel drive (Ford Taurus).... snapped the drive shaft..... Long story.... at the end of the day, he felt bad for me for having being stranded with a snapped driveshaft (he didnt know that though).... and gave me a 0.25 raise.... gee thanks! He deserved it though.... I was a poor college kid, working for him as a computer techie and used to send me on one way suicide missions to NYC. Great car memories though, me and my friend who use to work together always laugh our asses off when we talk about it. Thanks for reminding me.... that was 20 years ago, hahahahahahahahaha.

Last summer a golfball sized hard dirt ball bounced out of a dump truck, i swear i watched in slow motion as it hit the road and instead of breaking up, bounced right onto the hood and made a dent that broke my heart!!
Couldn't fall asleep that night it bothered me so much!!
Thank goodness for those paintless dent repair shops!!
The guy was a freeking genious, looked like he was rubbing the metal under the hood and all of a sudden it popped back to normal.
Absolutely no visual evidence of a dent ever having happened.
