As someone who is not a native Michigander. The roads in Detroit Metro area make Pennsylvania look like we paved our roads with gold each night.
This is my first new car, and the shear amount of road rash my car has acquired in two months is frightening, and I can see why people trade their cars in so often here.
I am almost at a loss for what to do. I don't follow close to people, I do my best to avoid other cars as most people drive fast and obliviously, and I clean the car religiously
This being said my car gets continually pelted with stones from the roadway, other cars, tractor trailers with three trailers ect.
The last two days have been especially bad getting onto 75N in the Troy area. The gravel is horrendous, I have watch cars start to loose traction trying to get on the highway. I now have two small chips in my windshield, the leading edges of the rear quarters have scratches through the paint, and three small gauges in the hood.
Anyone have any advice? I spoke with a coworker who is a reserve police officer. He had mentioned if portions of the highway near on ramps, and the ramps them selves have that much gravel it would be worth calling the state police.
I plan on keeping this car for a while. It's not a show car, but I feel at this rate I may have to get panels painted in a year or two.
