that was exactly my experience. I think my deductible for glass was $250 and a new windshield was $248. Same thing eitherway I'd still be out $250 each time

Aha. Nice post.



250 isn't so bad. I've had a divot in my old timey infiniti windshield a couple years, plus it's got multitudes of tiny,tiny nicks

it's definitely affordable but just annoying as gently caress to have to drop $250 on anything that's usually the result of some lifted dually coal rolling poo poo throwing rocks everywhere


I need to do a claim on my BMWs windshield and for some reason I think it will be more money. I should look into that now while I'm thinking of that.

edit: I knew it had rain sensing poo poo, but apparently antitheft stuff too? How does that work? Just a sensor if its smashed or something?

Don't some insurances sometimes do free windshield repairs?

USAA will do it free for chips and cracks under 6 inches I think, because they just kinda fill 'em in with glue more or less, full replacement usually has a deductible

USAA is awesome about chips and I got about 4 filled on this windshield with no out of pocket. I got this chip back in January and since it was way off in the corner I forgot about it.

The a pillars on my Volvo are God awful obstructive but I've taken all sorts of poo poo bouncing off this windshield including a rubber wheel chock at 60 mph, and only have scratches and some chips out of my sight line. I think the steep angle helps a ton.

Depends on the company and the state. Like New York and South Carolina require it to be without deductible for any safety glass.

I'm still in the standby reserve, so I get full base/MWR/etc privileges. poo poo's gonna really have to hit the fan, or OKC gets wrecked by a tornado that kills half the crews, before they get far enough down the list to call me. I'm not terribly concerned, and have no plans to resign out.

I thought no way you could have a 60k F-150 but I priced one out of curiosity and got the final cost drat near 70k fully loaded.

Trees fell on houses last year, and one even fell on a chick driving and killed her. The city/country arborists said this one old rear end tree needed to come down this year. People protested, some thought they were corrupt and somehow getting a kick back from the tree cutting company I don't know what the gently caress. Oh the city neglected it so that's why it's dying. Sure that might be true but either way the tree gotta go

One college girl even climbed on the tree when they were going to cut it, and the crews just left. Came back the next day, of course. The tree was eventually cut, and people held a loving candlelight vigil.

You'd be surprised how cheap they get after being 2-3 years old and having been used for commercial purposes. I've helped a few people find and buy F-250s and F-350s in fully loaded King Ranch spec, as a turbo diesel under 150k miles for under 25k
