So about 3-4 months ago I'm tooling down my favorite driving road when a rock leaps up and chips my windshield. Crap. It wasn't a big chip, but of course it produced a crack that spread and spread.
So a couple of days ago I finally get around to having it replaced. Yesterday, being a nice sunny day, I decided to take my beauty into work. Mind you this is the very first voyage after having the windshield replaced. I make my way through the neighborhood, across town, and onto the on ramp of the highway. I'm not on the highway 5 seconds when... TAKK!!! Some unknown object leaps up off the road and smashes my brand spanking new windshield! It left a thumb sized hole, surrounded by a melon sized starring, with cracks spreading from top to bottom. All on the driver's side. Picture a bullet hole... that's what I'm trying to describe here.
I'm so pissed.

PS - If you ever wondered how much wind your windshield is shielding you from... try driving at highway speed with a hole in yours... you'll find out.
