Rock hit windshield

Guess who won? Watch out for rock trucks! The windshield is cracked from the very bottom
and curls towards the passenger side.

That sucks. Nothing you can do. Just get it fixed quick or replace the windshield.

Yep, watch out for those rocks! I was driving on the highway once, and a fist sized rocked came hurling at me, i was going around 60-70. I thought i was gonna die, but it banged on the hood and went to the side. Now there's a 1" scrape on my hood, its all rusted now

Here's something weird. I have a scratch on my windshield. It flows in the same path as the wiper blade. It's on the drivers side. I don't know what caused it. I's not bad though. You have to look for it to see it. It's pretty long though, about 6-8 inches long.

Wierd about that crack. I have one exactly like that on mine. I took a rock back over XMAS holiday and didn't realize it. Then, while I was out of town, it was quite cold here (13 degrees some days). My car is garaged, but still I figure it was probably a small crack with some moisture in it, and when it got cold, the moisture expanded and cracked the window. I mean I know I wouldn't have missed a crack that big.

I even remember getting pelted by rocks from the gravel they lay down prior to a snow event. I was getting hit hard, but thought I escaped unharmed... wrong.

Luckily, my insurance has a rider so that the glass will only cost me 100 bucks to replace. I have a 500 deductible on comphrensive.
