Default I have the worst luck

On my way to work this morning I heard a rock hit my window but didn't think anything of it. I went to go to lunch and I see a 6 inch long crack that grew during the day on the passanger side. The rock hit in the black windshield tape area where I couldn't see it from inside the car. The worst part of it is I had the windshield replaced 3 months ago from a crack that also grew in the passanger side area. Cost me $411.

I just can't win.

Sorry to hear about that.....I know that AAA will cover the cost of a windshield if the crack is in your line of view......

that bee's bro probably threw it.. j/k

get a shop to get the air out of the crack.. to keep it from spreading. it should hold fine.. theres quite a few austin stook owners driving around w/ cracked windshields from hill country trips.. basically are windshields aren't very strong and chip rather easily.

Sorry bud!

I had a near miss this morning...

In Houston, 59 (southwest side) is divided only by a 3 1/2 foot cement wall. This morning when I was in the left lane heading north...a 18 wheeler heading south busted his front driver side tire...lost control...and hit the wall directly perpendicular to me!

Luckily I heard the blowout and saw the 18 wheeler swerve ahead of time...I acclereated and moved halfway into the lane next to me. I saw rock chips spray into 59 northbound from my rear view mirror!

Insomniak,

Yeah man...it was a pretty scary sight...

I'm glad that 18 wheeler didn't break the barrier.
