That's roughly comparable to the diarrhea you have after a Taco Bell run.

I'd be fascinated and shitting my pants at the same time...

Even the clips after the exploding snow were pretty cool... I'm going to try out the boiling water thing.

A couple of weeks ago I was on I-85 going home after work.

I was in the left lane with an Escalade towing a trailer ahead of me in the center lane. In front of that was a semi.

All of a sudden, a sheet of ice flew off the top of the trailer and hit the Escalade all over the front.

As I passed the Escalade, I saw the windshield completely crushed in and the A-pillar and hood damaged. It looked like a small bomb went off on its hood. The force of the ice was just amazing. Of course, the semi kept on driving, completely oblivious to what just happened. I hate fuckers who don't clean snow off their vehicles be it a passenger car or a semi.

it's a little hard to blame this one...no one wants to go on top of a semi trailor to clean the whole thing, you'd need a shovel, and could possibly slip off
...but seriously, if it's higher than the bridges, it has to be cleaned.

and +1, so many retards clear off 1/2 of their windshield so they can see forward and leave the entire rest of the car under 3" of snow...and then honk when they turn into you.

I hope they got him to stop or at least got the information like a tag number.

I would have def tried to catch up to the trailer and force him to pull over. At least get his tags if I couldn't and take that vid to the police. These companies have people who are paid to clear that shit off. Use them.
