hit a pissy mattress today
I was driving behind a slow van, it was kinda irritating, it was a huge road and only 3 cars around; me, the van, and a truck. So when i was making my move to pass on the left, the truck that was in the left quickly changed over to the right lane to avoid the mattress, by the time i saw the mattress the van had gotten next to me on the right lane so i couldnt swerve to avoid it. So i hit the brakes and ran over this pissy mattress some mothr****er left on the road.
now the mattress is sandwiched under my car, i thought i could just pull it out but it got a mangled underneth both wheel wells and jacked my right sideskirt up.
freakin thing caught on fire from my tires rubbing against it as i was driving, i had to drive about a 1/3 mile and that thing was smelling like **** and rubber. Got to the gas station and everyone decided to become genius's telling me how to get the **** out and asking me if i was ok. I was like wtf? havent you ever seen a mattress stuck under a car? So the fire and rescue guys had to come out cause i was at a gas station and the mattress was on fire.
they got these air bags and lifted the car up to get the mattress out
this is the POS that made my day. you can see on the right side where it was rubbing against my tire and caught on fire.
does anyone know how dangerous it is to inhale pissy mattress fumes? I have a big headache. Im not surprised though, seems like **** is always happening to me.

i think you can sue caltrans or something for not keeping the road clean... i forget if it is caltrans, but i know you can toss the blame out on someone for not haveing the road safe for driving, you and your insurance should not have to pay for that...

I almost plastered a set of golf clubs like that.
On 101 this stupid car was messing with me for like 10 miles. Accord. Little bit of traffic. I finally catch a break so I take off. As I come around this car I see this freakin set of golf clubs across my lane. So I calmly drove around them.....
I hate when you make that move and don't see something. Nailed a 2x4 like that last month...no damage from what I can see but it was loud as hell. And had a lady cut me off as I was trying to move away from a car mirror rolling down the road so I couldn't miss it. Blew my damn tire out. Brand new tire. I was so pissed. I was on the side of the road throwing stuff at the retaining wall. My tire iron. I freaking kicked the damn thing. so pissed. I saw that mirror coming from super far away and was getting ready to move over a lane when this stupid biach in a bmw take off around me and cuts me off. I had to slam on my brakes to keep from hitting her. Then she just misses the mirror and throws it right at my front tire..errrrrr.
Any damage to your car besides the side skirt? Good excuse to pick up some painted ones. Saw someone selling blue sti ones the other day.

I think cops should be on patrol for jerks who drive with all that loose crap that flys out of their vehicle (mainly trucks). When I had a truck I always made sure the stuff in the back was tied down. Its like these people think "whoops not my prob now".
I am sorry to hear about what happened & I didn't think it was funny.
