I guess I got lucky than... A pickem 'up truck in front of me, decided he didn't need to secure anything down... A fricken' tool box bounced out of the bed, and onto the freeway in front of me... It made a terrible kaboom when I slammed right into it, and I could hear it being dragged on the freeway for a few hundred ft.

I pulled over to look at the damage.... I'm so glad I decided to get the tow-hook-adapter front license plate..... It took most of the damage, as my front plate was completely mangled, and the bracket was bent a little... Otherwise no other damage, except for a small scuff on the bumper, when the toolbox finally flew to the side.... I know it could've been much worse....

I hate people that don't secure their crap.... On another occasion, I was getting on the freeway behind a uhaul truck... They didn't even latch the rear door, because it opened by-itself on the onramp, and a toolbox flew out of that one too... Except the toolbox flew open when it hit the pavement... I was able to swerve around the tool-box, but a ratchet or wrench or something nailed my windshield. If it didn't hit right in front of my field of vision, I would've chased the b*tch down. Thank god I wasn't driving the G.

On yet a seperate occasion, I was pulling onto the mainroad, when a Tundra in front of me lost it's load... It was hauling a bunch of huge cardboard boxes that were flattened... So easy to secure, but they didn't... It caught the wind just right, and a box that was the size of the bed, flew up, and nailed my hood.

On yet another occasion, I was riding shotgun in the wife's car... Another pickem'up truck was tooling along... It had a folded A-Ladder in the bed leaning against the cab.... That wasn't secured either, because when the freeway took a bend, the ladder slid to the side and almost went through my passenger window.

unless you are in good with the service tech and service manager, you might as well not waste your time

I was pi$$ed!@! and none of them even apologized!!! IDK what to do.... just a bad day!!
damn meng, that sucks, I feel sorry for you.
