Kiss a pygmy...

ferenNot even four miles from Jen's house on the drive home tonight, and a semi tire throws a rock into my windshield. Result? A nickel-sized star in the passenger side of my windshield, right above my windshield wiper. Net result? I need a new windshield, not four days after I get the pickup back.
Why can't I have nice things?
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out

On a more positive note, they may be able to fill in the ding instead of replacing the whole windshield. And I don't know if the car-window-places make "house calls" in IL, but they do in CO. So you might want to check into that... they'd be able to fix it while your car is parked in the lot at work.
*hugs* Totally understand how you feel, though. I ended up having to replace the windshield on my car when it was barely a year old because something fell off the back of a truck, bounced off the freeway (and all of the cars around are going about 65/70) and there's nowhere for me to go and the whatever it was *whanged* off my windshield right by my rear view mirror and put a huge 'star' (bigger than my fist) in my windshield that spread out across the top and down the center. Was terribly surprised it didn't break my windshield completely. :P
