Another windshield crack story . . . due to bug
So I was a few blocks from work and doing less than 40mph when i see a bug spat on my windshield . . . I actually saw the bug a few microseconds before impact. As soon as the bug hit it splattered into a line and i thought . . . .dang, just washed my car too! Got to work and got out my rag to clean the bug off . . . . The smear actually a crack. My windshield cracked due to a bug! Not a big one either.

Well, I feel like an idiot . . . I call for glass repair and they send out a guy. There are two friends of mine that also confirmed the crack. Repair guy looks at it and agrees that it's a small crack and gets all his stuff out ready to do the work. He sprays some sort of cleaner on the glass and gets the surface ready. Then he stops for a second, grabs the cleaner solution again and cleans it again, then starts rubbing really hard. He was as shocked as me . ... . It cleaned off. Even though we all felt it and agreed it was a crack. That bug must have eaten concrete or something because his guts were so well implanted that they even felt like a problem and took some vigorous rubbing to get off the windshield.
Sadly I feel like an idiot (at least even the repair guy was fooled too). But i'm happy my windshield is still intact
