Angry I hate road work

There has been some construction on my to work for the past few weeks. They have been paving the highway and have been leaving a mess with little rocks. I haven't followed any cars too close to avoid tearing up my front end with rock chips but regardless there seems to be a couple of new chips on the front of the car. Today I decided to touch up one of them and I noticed that the parking/signal lens is cracked. I just replaced both of them not too long ago because they were cracked and full of condensation. Now I have to replace one again. I really hate driving the car everyday. As soon as I get some cash saved up I’ll be getting a beater

i feel your pain... my whole neighborhood is still under construction, so i have to deal with **** all over the roads every single day. it especially sucks when it rains like today and now there will be mud all over the roads for a good week or so.

how much is a new front turn signal/parking light anyways? one of mine gets condensation in it... i don't see any cracks, so i was thinking i might just be able to maybe caulk the seals?

From the dealer they are $50+ but I can get them for cheaper. The price doesn't bother me as much as this one didn't last too long.

Damn that sucks Chris. They started construction here on Crowley Road about a month ago... it doesn't look good.
