Anything that falls off a truck on the highway you hit it.
when you put it that way, maybe it's me... The ladder that came off the truck I probably could have avoided had I not been following the car in front of my closely. not quite tailgating, but probably closer than the DMV recommends. I don't think that I could have gotten out of the rocks way. It happened in the blink of an eye. THUD, WHACK, BOOM, blink, wtf???
It's just nice to have a comfortable car with navigation. I've been traveling all over the state lately for work. When I took the probe at the end of the day my back hurt, my arms were sore, I was just generally shot. Now I can jump in, punch the location into the car and get there and back and still have energy to do something afterwards. I put on about a thousand miles in two days last week, and it looks like it will get worse in the future. I like the car, and I bought it konwing that it was going to get a bazillion miles on it. I just thought I could do that without getting it mangled in the process.

It was hit 3 times in the same summer
wow. lame. all minivans?
Those are typically what tries to wreck every car that I own.
oh well. nothing lasts forever. and if drifting is still around when I'm ready to get rid of the benz I'll just gut the interior, and get some extra hard compound fleet farm tires...
lame. I hate driving 41 everyday. always construction vehicles with complete dumbasses driving them. the rock that hit me came off a flat bed in the right lane with a bunch of welding equipment, and 55 gallon drums of crap and a bobcat. It whacked the hood and bounced of the windsheild. the windshield shook like a subwoofer! I actually feel pretty lucky that I didn't catch the rock with my teeth. 2" dent on the hood already started to rust. I LOVE WISCONSIN. I pulled up along side the guy and tried to sign language the fact that he had put a rock into at least two cars, mine and the one behind me, but he just grinned like an idiot and waved back. then honked the horn. 
I hope his wife drags her teeth. sigh.
