Pretty had to know without seeing it in person, you need a couple of angles to get an idea of the depth with all the image refraction. But that looks pretty superficial so a fill and polish should be enough, plus there doesn't appear to be any clear spider cracks radiating from the chip which is a good sign. Keep it in that balmy weather down south and out of subzero and you should be fine. But get it filled/fixed as quick as possible because the epoxy will take strain off the chip and adsorb any vibrations that could start to propagate the crack.

No problem. Between the masses of knowledge I seem to store (I never seem to forget useless factoids and trivia) from my dad and a section on crack propagation in one of my Uni classes, I know WAAAAAAYY to much on cracks. You want to talk crazy crack sh*t, try figuring out crack and de-lam propagation in carbon fiber

Edit: Random: I notice you're 'blind' like some of us. I never use to to a lot of night driving, but recently I've noticed that I can't drive at night with glasses, I have to be wearing contacts, because every light source halo's and flares like crazy. Ever notice the problem or do my glasses need a really good cleaning?

yes, me blind. been blind since the 5th grade. but my blindness is about 225 degrees and it hasn't gone up since when i was 18. i can see the road fine at night. you just have to invest in those anti-reflect glasses. i forget what i have. the glasses you see me wearing are like 6 years old.
