First Nick

I was driving about 35 mph on a local road yesterday when an on coming truck kicked up a rock that gave me the biggest rock chip I have ever seen. The shattered area is about one inch in diameter and there is a two inch diameter crack around the "chip". I can actually feel a slight ridge on about half of the crack.

Anyway, a new windshield was installed today with no pain.

Seeing it was just the windshield (right?) it isn't that big of a deal - compared to the hood or one of the fenders.

but also very true at the same time.
