TDean Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 Yep, just past the 327 mile mark on the 2002 Silverado Z71 LT and thinking how coincidental that it happen to be the exact cubic inch displacement of the engine when......CRACK!!...a gravel truck comming the other way peppered my truck! Insurance says "it's in a bad spot at eyelevel, so we'll have to replace it..." $150 deductable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 Welcome to Eastern Washington / Northern Idaho!!! After a while, you'll get used to it. Most natives don't bother changing windshields. What's the point? It'll only be ruined again next winter. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgtyre Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 I just called the windsheild replacement guys right before I checked this forum. A passenger in a pick-up that was headed in the opposite direction from my old van tossed a LARGE styrofoam cup full of frozen soda at my windsheild. They got away before I could get turned around to chase them or even see a license plate number. I was doing about 45 and if we assume they were doing the same and tack on a little energy for the guys throw thats a 90+mph ice missle into my windsheild! Major cracks all up and down and my rearview mirror shooting back at me while I try to come to a stop. Rage doesn't begin to describe my reaction. $250 for a new windsheild would've bought a lot of more entertaining things (like ammo;-). I suppose I am just happy that no one got hurt but I HATE those guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Local punk (16 or 17) threw a softball size rock from an over-pass. Blinded the driver. The punk has been considered as an adult and will be sentanced for two acounts of attempted murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianH Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 I think I was blessed with magnetic windows for rocks. My '96 Tacoma got it 6 months after I got it new...funny now I think of it my '99 Ranger got it at about 6 months new too. The cool thing I learned was that a local glass company will do a replacement and PAY your deductible. I don't know what they end up getting from State Farm, but I don't care. My second winshield was free! A very good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 We have a local shooter who drove his 3 DAY old(2001) car to the match. It was parked where everyone parks and when he left he discovered a .45 200 grain had put a big dent and almost a hole in the trunk. It looked deep and long enough that could have been a ricochet not fallout. Wear your eye protection and armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 Fairly new car, nice cold morning. Drive to market up the road in pissed off mood. SLAM the door and watch rear window explode. $500?. Then I check insurance all windows covered $50 deductable. MUCH BETTER MOOD. Now close doors real soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardball Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 If you lived in Florida, it is state law that the insurance companies replace your windshield free, with no deductable. Go ahead, throw something at my windshield. After I throw something back I will just go get a new one. You won't like what I throw back. When someone attempts murder on me or my family it could get really ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 I have long had the policy of waiting for 3 "stars" before replacing the glass. Although one time I was mowing the lawn and the lawn mower threw a rock and it hit the rear fixed panel of glass on my Ford Explorer. Ouch.
