Default My first ever cracked windsheild!

After one week with the new xA BAM! right in the top middle of the windsheild.

I think it was a big screw or something from a truck going by.

Anyhow, a few seconds later *crack* ding turns into 3 inch crack.

*sigh*



Oh! did I mention my wheels have been backordered for eternity? Yep, so now I am really bumming.

No, I wasn't sure if it came off the truck or the road. Besides, I was too busy screaming, "NNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!" amoung other things...

Man that sucks. I've got a couple little pits in my windshield, but I've been lucky that none of them turned into cracks. Hope your insurance covers it.

DOH!

At least I am not alone. Kind of funny really, because I can't even get my new inspection sticker!

I decided to get the OEM glass. I wanted to get the original toyota glass, but would have to pay 100 of my own money, my insurance has a 100$ glass deductible.
If you have a deductible like mine when you call the glass guy tell him that other glass companies have a coupon for the 100$ and they will knock it off so it doesn't cost you a dime.

Sorry to hear about that, but insurance suppose to cover glass. I'm ____ed right now that I found enough scratch on my car to get ____ed and paint chip and I think its from the stupid automatic car wash MA is good for the glass coverage, but rape us with insurance policy though.

Yeah, that totally sucks. I wonder how much a body shop would charge to fix that?
I dread the first door ding. Bummer you got yours that way...

Find a Dent Wizard or something. I've seen a dent specialist in action..and it's like magic. They rub the dent out... Should cost you about 50 bucks to get the ding out...
