Effin Dammm Semi truck drivers!!!!

Soo i was driving on the 5 freeway! my exit was coming up so i started to merge toward the far right lane when all of a sudden these 2 Semi's jumped in my lane from the dirt and started spitting Thousand of Rocks towards my Car! i braked hard and got on the left lane but with my luck there was another semi spitting just as many rocks if not more at me!! i finally exited and went to the carwash to see the damage! my front bumper is Ruined..... has millions of little white spots everywhere from the rocks!! brand new CF lip is Ruined! brand new cl style grill ruined! When the sun hits my front windshield its pretty hard to see because of all the little chips I'll take some pics today to show the damage.

That sucks. Insurance?

Atleast you're not hurt! Usually I drive at a corner of a semi, and speed past them when I get the chance, never parallel to any side of the semi.

There was a sponsor either on this board or mymb, that was doing a christmas special or something on the clear bra for around $300 which is a really good price
