omfg clean the snow off your car!

so on the highway today.. driving along at a safe distance behind this old fossil in a chrysler 300.. when WHOOM... a huuuge flat piece of snow, the size of the entire hood, blows off the front of his car and like 10 feet in the air and smashes just in front of my car. if that had hit my windsheild, i don't know if i could have seen or even swept that much off. it must have been a plate of snow like 3" thick!

damn lazy people.. can't you get a ticket for that? where's a cop when ya need one eh..

only problem is that some of the snow is actually frozen ice therefore it wont come off even if you clean it. unless you are willing to smash the ice and risk potential damage to your car.

thats me if i can see out my windows let nature take care of the rest becaus i dont feel like scraping snow off of my paint.
it isnt so bad when it's a car it's when it is a big suv or 18 wheeler with sheets of ice pooring of the back.and yes mr. rukus is right they can get a ticket and also if any of that ice hits and damages your car get there plate # and contact the police as they will be held responcable for any damages.
now with that said i would recommend that everybody take pics of your car on a regular basis 1 a month so if you ever have damages you can atleast prove the condition of your car before.

Same thing happened to me a few weeks back... I was on the highway infront of a white work van and a huge slab of ice flew off his roof and over my car (Good Thing I'm still lowered haha)

I didn't know they issued tickets for that stuff now. But I do try to take as much snow off my car as possible, but two days ago I think I may have done the same that was done to me to someone else. My Bad

That little chinese lady might be the wife of a big chinese triad boss. Then we'd all sit here wondering where you went.
