Default has this ever happened while driving w/windows down?

so i was on the highway and it was after a storm and a lot of pebbles were on the highway....while passing a few 18 wheelers....i got hit by a very tiny pebble


i got Window visors and it happened again so i was wondering if its the angle i roll down the windows that could be causing this and has this ever happened to anyone else who drives with their windows down?

A bit unrelated but people don't realize how damaging it is to your hearing to drive with your windows down, particularly for long periods. I've done it myself but remind myself it's not healthy.

Anyway take it from someone who's rode in a car at highway speed with no windshield (we were kids, don't ask lol), you get hit with all kinds of stuff without full glass protection. amazing how many pebbles you get hit in the face with.

Keep your windows up! At high speeds! For your eyes and ears sake!

well ilike to enjoy my music and unfortunately, i am a smoker so usually i at least have my driver side window like this:

has this ever happened while driving w/windows down?-voytrel.jpg


usually a bit lower since installing the Window visors

what i ALWAYS forget is even if i spend a couple hours washing, waxing, vacuuming, etc....i always forget to roll all 4x windows a bit and dry them off to avoid spotting under the visor


its happened a few times in my old ride too so no biggie esp. since i wear sunglasses
