Chips ahoy
Lately, Caltrans has been doing nightly work on the Santa Monica Freeway around Downtown Los Angeles. As a result, my car has been showered with pebbles and gravel on way too many occasions. Over the years, a clear toll has been taken on my car’s front license plate frame. Similarly, the front of the car has more chips on the hood and bumper than a can of Pringles.
Not wanting others to experience the wrath of Caltrans roadwork, I’ve copied some information from Caltrans’ web site below. Hopefully, this will help some of you avoid the carnage of our tax dollars at work.

Sedan silliness
While I believe every person should be allowed to do what he or she wants to do to his or her automobile, I detest the things people do to bread-and-better family sedans. As point-A to point-B people-movers, they were not designed with sporting intentions in mind. What about cars such as the Toyota Camry SE you say? No! It’s still a Camry! It’s not wrong to own a Camcord or any other typical mid-size family sedan. I simply believe it’s wrong to modify one in such a disgusting way.
Current generation Toyota Camry
1998-2002 Honda Accord
2002 Toyota Camry on dubs (20-inch or more wheels for those who aren’t with the “lingo”)
Here’s a classic web site pointing out more ridiculous transgressions against the automobile.
What do you all out there think?
