LMAO at the couch in the middle of the freeway. That's a hardcore spot to set your couch at to catch some views, or TV.

Driving on any freeway, you're going to get hit by some rock flying off another vehicle's rear tires.

Just stay far away from the vehicle in front of you and to the side.
There was a yellow school bus that was on my right (while on the freeway), and it kicked a rock at my 370Z windshield. Fortunately, it didn't put a scratch on it, but the sound was pretty loud.
At high speeds, sounds and impacts are multiplied x times even if it's a small object.

The Sienna mini van I drive sometimes, got a chip on the windshield from a rock, while also driving on the freeway.
Imagine that hitting your head, neck or shirt if you were on a motorcycle.
I also got rear ended at 60 MPH, while stopped at a light, in the mini van. Anyone here ever been in a large metal object while being hit by another large metal object at 60 MPH? It's quite loud and a bit disturbing to say the least.
