Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Eastern Canada mother f#$%in truckers

I was driving on the QEW in St Kitts today and a truck that was carrying mud and rocks was loosing it all over the road as it would go over bumps. After the my car and the E320 in front of me got pelted with ping pong ball sized chunks of mud I figured I should probably get the guys licence plate and the trucking company in case there was any damage. When I got closer to the truck I could see that parts of the body were completely rusted through and looked like they were about to fly off.

I can't believe that these trucks are allowed to drive in that condition. Someone could get hurt or killed. A golfball sized rock will go through a windsheild at 120km an hour and would kill someone if they got it in the head.

It almost happened to me once outside Calgary. Me and a friend were driving to Drumheller and a truck was going in the opposite direction. It either lost a rock or kicked one up at over 200kph since we were both going at least 100kph in opposite directions. The rock went through the front windshield between the passengers seat and the drivers seat missing us both and hit the rear window and broke it. I was just like "what the $@!$ happened?" I got some glass in my face though. Unfortunity the truck was long gone after we pulled over and checked out the damage.

Kustom Contour, what kind of car do you have? I haven't seen any other done up Contours in Niagara area.
