_Fresh Oil Loose Stone

There are alot of dumb and annoying things in the world but one of the most every summer is the sign that says “Slow, Fresh Oil Loose Stone”.  Why on earth would any town do that?  It totally ruins your car.  Not even a little but alot.  Ruins it.  Not like some construction or paving where your car gets dirty, this RUINS it.

I once had a 1991 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe 35th Anniversary Edition.
199035thsc The car was sweet.  One day driving home the town of Fairfield decided to put down Fresh Oil and Loose Stone on MY ROAD.  There was nothing I could do.  I had to drive about 1-2 miles per hour.  My doors, side sills, front, back underneath was covered with it.  It took forever to get most of it off, but there was so much under the car it was ridiculous.

The same thing happened on my 2003 Ford Explorer about a year after we got it.  To this day I still cannot get that crap off the side steps.

I now turn around and go out of my way to get home if I see that sign.  Completely ridiculous.
