Well I am on my way home all pissed off from work today (just a bad day) and I see some tool in a turbo Talon come flying up on me and go blowing by. Well a ****ing rock from (I am thinking his car comes flying across the road and SMASH!!!!!!!!!!! right into my mother ****ing windshield. I have a star about the size of a half dollar along with a 12" half moon crack on the passangers side. So now I am really hot, but i cant get too mad at the kid in the Talon it really was not his fault but anyways I come flying up on his *** and get on his drivers side ( doing about 85 - 90) and he gives me a nod like he wants to go and i give one back along with a friendly "**** you! (understand I am really ****ing mad now) So he does his 1- 2 -3 beeps ( I am sorry but that is some rice boy ****) so as he beeps I hear his turbo spooling and all I saw was red! icon10: there is no way in hell I am settling for anything less than smoking his ***. on 3 I give him the finger and hammer it. I pulled on him from the go (gotta love the VQ's mid range combined with my kinetix plenum and UR pulley) and I never let off. Well he got smaller and smaller in my mirror and before know it I am hitting 146mph and just as I am ready to slow down to laugh at this jackass I see the most spicked out C5 I have ever seen so without resisting i hammer by him now doing 149! ( save the lecture, I am 30 years old, I know I should not drive like that but **** happens and I was in a pissy mood, and for the record the highway was quite empty.) So now I have to wait for the Talon to catch up (about 30 seconds and then I see Hulio (from Easy Money) drive by in the C5 with a look on his face like he woke up in the morning and his dick fell off! Well the Talon catches up and I just wanted to smack him like Rick James because I do think his car broke my winshield but instead I just give him a farwell with a simulated nose pick follew by a booger fling at his car.

Ok I fell a little better now. Sorry but I had to vent. And uh, anyone replace their windshield? Experience? Price? Problems?

Thanks, and sorry for all the anger I hope you all understand. :

 

Gotta love road rage.

I've read that a new windshield runs a couple hundred, but maybe you can get away with filling in the spot for 50 bucks or less....

 

Oops after seeing the crack, I dont think they can fill it.....

 

fixing it shouldnt cost too much....your story was funny as hell to read...i got very into it

 

I have a new windshield after some jackass on track went off and sprayed me w/ chips. Anyway, a new one is worth the deductible full price is ~$450.

 

ROFL! Dude, you just made my ****ing day, thats some great **** man.

Sorry about your windshield though.

 

I'm curious,what is a "spicked out" C5?

 

This ****ing vette had so much chrome on it, tailight covers, emblems, window tint, wheel arches. etc. I should have had my welding helmet because I almost burned out my ****ing retnas. spicked out = pimped out - riced out - toll boy piece of ****." your from PA? ever been to Dover NJ? Dover Rico? If you have than this C5 looked like a 45K dollar '85 Toyota Corolla.

 

I have the same size crack in my Z. All started from a little pebble.

 

insurance usually has a zero deductible on glass. use it.

 

I'm not trying to hijack your thread but using the term "spick" to refer to Puerto Ricans is insensitive and objectionable.I'm from Puerto Rico as are many others on this site and I also happen to own a C5 but do not have it chromed out so maybe I don't fit the stereotype.Please refrain from using terms which have nothing to do with your unfortunate accident.
Back on topic,the longer you wait to fix your windshield the larger the crack will get.I had a dumptruck throw a rock which left a star on my Vettes windshield which Safelite was able to patch with resin and it's not noticeable.Your windshield may be beyond repair but check with your insurance company.

 

Check with insurance they should cover most of it.

 

hey dude chill out my wife is puerto rican. their is no racist intent here ok.

 

wow, nice story, good kills!

as for the crack, dont worry about it, it'll buff right out

(haha, sorry couldnt resist)

 

Wrong. Some insurance companies will not charge a deductible to repair a windshield. This windshield obviously needs to be replaced, which would be covered under your comprehensive coverage, which you most likely carry a deductible for.

p.s. I'm a claims adjuster for Progressive

Try giving Safelite a call 800-868-3322 (they will quote you)

 

I have a boring story, but I have yet to find out the culprit. I was driving with my gf in the country, and all of a sudden I hear a loud tick! My gf says, "you have a nick in your windshield!" Keep this in mind: There were no cars in front, to the left, to the right, or behind me. ALso, there were no overpasses. No one was around! The only thing I could come up with was that a kid shot it with a bb gun. I just had my windshield replaced yesterday, and now the windshiel wiper is scraping really bad on the left side =/

 

thanks, i'll do that.

 

Actually I understand what you're talking about with all the cars that have tacky crap on it. Puerto Rocks and Mexican Americans hook cars up pretty damn tight, especially that lowrider style the West Coast is known for. It's some of the other cats that come from other countries that hook their cars up. Depending on where they're from a certain look may be totally acceptable because of income levels of the entire country whereas over here we look at it with searing eyes and total disgust. Some of them cats just need a little guidance so that they don't put a rainbow pinstripe, the mudflaps with the chick on them, spinning hubcaps, a rear window louver kit and a carbon fiber wing on an '87 Accord with rust holes. I had a friend from Honduras that I took to a few carshows and showed some import mags before he saw the light with his Civic. Now I know you can put whatever you want on your car but as a friend you sometimes have to have the courage to give constructive critism. I'm not saying run up to cats you don't know to say their car is tacky because it's not your job. If you don't know what I'm talking about then cruise to different parts of your city and see how everyone hooks up their ride. You may see things that inspire you or you may see that car that's the posterchild for what not to do. Sorry for the longness.

 

I had my windshield busted on my first Z in a similar fashion but it was a rock off a semi right into the drivers side just below my vision line. Insurance covered it with 0 deductible. I had the glass repair guys out the very next day but man did i feel like a bum having a gimped up window on a almost new z at that point pulling up to mcdonalds.

 

I've gone through about 4 windshields in the past 5 years. Insurance covered it 100%.
