I guess this is a good thread to express my epic fail last monday. I was driving out of the MVA (because I was trying to get an officer to sign off on the repair order for my tint :rolleyes:) which failed cuz he wasnt even there.

While driving to work on the highway, there was a dumptruck about 7-8 car lenghts infront of me. Traffic was medium. Boxed in my lane since there was two cars on my sides. Then the dump truck hits a bump on the road and a HUGE baseball sized, perfectly round rock comes out of the back of it. It hit the road twice and had enough bounce that it came crashing into my windshield. I was f-ing hulking up!! Fail at MVA and fail to the windshield! :mad:

Made my in home appointment with SafeLite. They should come fix it Wednesday. Only $100 out of my pocket. :shakes head:

Ouch! Glad you're alright though man - looks like the windshield did it's job. Better it fracturing than your skull. Keep us posted about Safelite and their installation - I am also in MD w/ a blue Z and my insurance uses them as well. Would like to know how they are. :tup:

It seems so! I got a pin head sized chip in mine :rofl2:

Oh nooooooo! I've got the Monterey Blue one as well!

I hate trucks. I think they should have double decker highways where all trucks have to travel on the lower level!:tup:

:iagree: We need a "Save the Monterey Blue Z" campaign and start a petition to ban all rocks on freeways!! :rofl2:

:iagree:

mine was held together by my tint :)

Update: Got my windshield fixed today in the morning. SafeLite service was great! :tup:

Guy showed up right on the time he said he would. He didnt take no more than an hour to remove and replace the windshield. I would def. recommend their services if you ever come across a windshield being damaged. I only payed $100 (from the $364) after claiming it through my insurance. :tiphat:

Great to hear, did you request OEM glass or go aftermarket?

The chip on mine right now seems to not be getting any bigger so I won't worry about it until the time comes.
