RANT : Not specific to MB AMG..
this is a rant of sorts.. am posting here since I have a c63s ..
I was driving to work this am, and the city workers that were mowing the grass, just BLOW the debri etc into the streets , I had my windows down and suddenly had **** all in my car !! WTF..
(is it just me, or did we grow up and used to bag that ****! ??) and how are cities etc doing this with out claims of damage ? )
Has anyone ever got dinged with a rock or something from the landscapers blowing that crap into traffic ?
Now need to take it to get detailed to get all this grass and dirt **** out of my car...!!! UHHHHG
Thanks for letting me vent!

As long as we're ranting, my biggest gripe is construction equipment going down the road on a trailer, when the hauler is too lazy to properly wash down the equipment prior to loading it. It's going down the road at 55 MPH, and every time it hits a bump, pieces of gravel and dirt are bouncing off of it. My last car got at least two paint chips and one windshield crack that way. It was a big part of the reason I paid for full frontal XPEL paint protection film on my new car.

In our town, the trash pickup will not pick up lawn clippings. That's the reason most don't bag the grass when mowing. We haven't bagged grass in well over 20 years.

It is actually better if you mulch it and leave it laying on the ground, but side discharge mowers do not mulch. They just spray crap everywhere.

I own a landscaping company and teach all my guys when anywhere near the street to keep an eye up and to stop whipping every time a car passes. Thankfully the rest of the companies in town followed so I never have my own car hit by any rocks in town.
Also if your landscaper is telling you that not bagging your grass is better for your yard he just doesn’t want to bag it, have to empty the bags, then have to lift the heavy *** barrel into his dump truck that at the end of the day will have to pay $25-75 to dump all the clippings. My OCD would never allow me to do such messy looking jobs. Any idea mowing any debris into a street is a complete idiot or a complete ***
