Because if I find cast-off soda cans in my yard I chuck 'em back on the golf course. Doesn't happen nearly as often as find balls there.

I am truly annoyed about the trim falling off. I could have been run over (I lost my balance picking it up out of the high-speed lane on the Interstate) and it shouldn't have come off in the first place.

But if you want REAL excitement, I was once breezing down the highway at about 65 when the hood latch let go. Suddenly the entire view out the windshield turned white. It took me a microsecond to realize that I was now looking at the car hood, and I stuck my head out the window and braked, finally pulling off the road without injury to myself or others (I do admit to being a bit shaky). There was some wire in the car, so I wired the hood down to the grill and drove slowly home, where more permanent repairs were arranged.
