Made it back home. Only had one object hit my car on the way back. Couldn’t lane change to dodge, but didn’t hit windshield. Not sure if it was a car part or what only saw fly into our lane .3s before we got hit.
This is pretty normal driving around ATL. There were dozen cars off the side of the road before I even got into the city. I think I counted 3 dozen cars with no bumpers left total. All those parts go somewhere.
Saw 3 truck tires going down, but everyone dodged those when I drove by… I guess the first day of heat helped tires blow out today.
@thendrix The best vehicles I've seen for similar conditions are the 4Runners and Tacos with protective bumpers and skid plates.
Road debris is just part of living in Georgia. All the traffic to and from Florida ensures that even a fresh road surface will likely have a chain or something heavy from a semi to scar it within a month or two and it will probably leave a trail for maybe 50 miles or so.
Ah GDOT I remember you having workers in mostly the same place for a few years. Pot holes are now considered dangerous and GDOT can actually get work done relatively quickly. The retread problem is a bit more scary when it goes through windows. They also take out tie rods and seemingly have the ability to selectively hit a radiator. It's carnage on the roads but it's not as bad as it used to be. There is something satisfying about seeing a Mercedes Benz hit an American pothole and immediately having to get off the road.
There's never a dull moment.
It’s good practice for future dirt track / NASCAR racing used to be the joke. Didn’t see anything fatal at least.
@thendrix It really should be embraced by everyone. With Presidents claiming that it's unreasonable to have police protect schools but continue a War On Drugs, the government is not going to help as long as they can use deaths to control a population. Certain rounds are illegal because they can defeat the kevlar vests of the police trying to murder people.
I believe 2 Pac used a Mini-14 to kill police assaulting an unarmed man in ATL. I don't believe he was charged for it or they could have been dropped. Police should be scared of the public, that badge isn't meant to harm, steal and rape.
Self-defense should include use against police and include rounds designed to stop fascism and promote freedom.
No, that’s for people attempting to rob you for their last time on earth. That said in Seattle a woman was getting her brains bashed in from a road rage attack, and finally was able to pull her pistol and ended the threat… she was unpersoned for not allowing the man to kill her and supporting gun control.
Much better view of such things down here. I remember people cheering when a woman shot a guy robbing her. Much different culture.
