Come to IL where you get to play the interstate game of "dodge the landmines" a few stretches your better off going most of the way on the shoulder to avoid potholes that look to be 4-6" deep and about a foot or more wide...this is going 65-70mph too...
if i do have a tailgater usually they start following in your tracks - thats when you line up a piece of roadkill then at the last second swerve around it
they usually get the hint. Never will forget the time my blazer could clear (barely - i heard it hit) a big coon but the bmw behind me could not haha, plastic airdams dont hold up to well...
I cant speak for model A's but in my moderns I've had 5 flats while traveling. 2 were screws which can happen anywhere, one was a soybean stalk thru the sidewall, one was my own windshield washer tank bolt (fell out of the fender, bounced out of the engine compartment and right into the rear tire) and one I dont know what I hit but it just went flat in a hurry while I was driving.
