Crack is approaching a foot.

Oh, it's a grand to replace it.

I fricking hate the universe.

Insurance man. Most policies cover it 100%

ETA: stop tailgating

Dear diary,
Today I bragged about my new car, and the cost of the windshield. The end.

I've seen bigger cracks than that in the Quad.

And why didn't you get it drilled and filled instead of letting the crack spread?

yeah if it's smaller than the size of a quarter. then they "fix" it but you can still see it plain as day.

Throw you a BLM sticker on there then hit it with a bat. Call the news demand a safe space.

Not only that but there are tons of glass companies that will pay you $100+ for using them so you actually come out ahead

Find a flatbed or gravel truck throwing rocks all over the roadway, follow for a few miles....take picture of lic. plate and door w/Co. info, try to get drivers attention, and if he ignores you...call the # and make a claim !

Only if you bought full glass coverage. Otherwise deductible applies

In Georgia they pull you over and ticket you for any windshield cracks > 2.9 inches and you have to bring in a receipt showing repairs done when your court date arrives in order to get the ticket dismissed. Got one while test driving a used F-250

I've had my new car 3 weeks. So far someone rear-ended me when I stopped for a pedestrian (teenage girl who was on phone and didn't even hit the brakes). Then my wife got caught in a freak hail storm with grapefruit sized hail. I assumed they'd total it due to hail damage, but the estimate for both repairs came out to $10k. It'll cost me I guess $500 (deductible on the hail). It's got 800km on it :/
