Not really on topic, but we were driving along toward a gritter recently. A cold, but sunny day, so we had been for a run with the roof down. I saw him stopping the grit as we were approaching, then as soon as he saw the roof down, he turned the grit back on, git!! Thankfully, I don't think it caused and chips, but we're still finding grit on the carpets.
Why do people have to be so jealous??
