rock vs. windshield

this is what happens some f-ing punk decides to chuck a softball sized rock off a freeway overpass!! hit me dead center i was traveling about 70 mph. lucky for me i was wearing my sunglasses, it didn't go through thanks to the protective film in between the glass but it splinterd into a thousand tiny shards of glass. scared the shit out of me! got off freeway, but didn't catch him, very lucky for him, his life would have ended that day!

Man, that really sucks - I would kill the kid if I caught them too. Nothing like busting your rear to have a nice car only to have some punk do something stupid to ruin it for you.

i went straight to the chp station and reported the incident, then called my insurance co. they came out the same day and i set up an appointment w/ safelite auto galss and it was replaced the next day! $563 insurance covered it me and my wallet were thankfull! i guess thats why we shell out that $ every month, for things like this.

Holy crap!! 1st of all glad you're ok.

Must've been a big ass rock. You could've seriously been hurt.

Hope they catch whoever done it.

Looks like some kid needs a "time-out"

If I did that when I was a kid I would get a good beating from my parents.

I'm glad you escaped any injuries. I hope that cocksucker trips over the overpass next time and falls in front of a wide load semi. He could've hurt, or even killed people with that stupid stunt.


Side note -- Is that a Type-S shift knob from a 2G TL-S?

Yeh..that's crazy. I remember here in Maryland that was a big thing last year. One couple died I believe in one of hte incidents. Another, the guy swerve to the side of the highway, got out his car and ran over the hill and followed the kids home as they were running. The couple that died was a big thing because it wasn't a small stone. It was like minature boulder, smashed through the window killingthe driver instantly.

I hope they find the punk who did this and put him under the jail. To me, this is attempted murder--what else do you expect to occur when you chuck a heavy rock over a freeway bridge onto a moving car?

That's terrible. Glad your ok.

When I was a kid, we actually use to piss off an overpass when we saw a convertible coming... Never threw rocks/objects..

Yeah, I grew up a lot since then

I'm glad you didn't find him. It isn't worth getting yourself screwed up for some revenge.

But I'm also sorry to hear this happened to you, and I can understand your frustration.

jptl04: Where exactly did this happen at? So maybe we can keep an lookout for that bastard. Today, I have read too many unfortune event to TL (one that got punks kids jumping over the hook and roof and trunk, and yours).. I guess I won't rant about a tons of bird crap just splash all over my hood and windshield this past weekend while i was driving to an important meeting on I-5.
