I was trying to write the necessary info down without causing an
accident... when I had a revelation, "Grab the XT, dumb ass!"

Probably your insurance company. In NZ we get one free windshield
replacement per year if required.

Or would the message -Why you shouldn't follow close behind flatbed trucks
carrying earth moving equipment- be more appropriate? I'm shocked a rock
fell off this truck and cracked your windshield, who would have guessed
that might happen...

Yup, excrement occurs. It's only a scratch, I wouldn't **** around with
a replacement. If you leave it alone, next week's door ding won't hurt
so bad.

Hey Genius, he was two lanes over and more than enough car lengths ahead
of me. The pictures were taken about 15 minutes later after I sped up to
catch him. I guess you've never witnessed a bouncing rock at 65 mph.

Trust me, it aint no scratch. The cracks are baseball sized and nearly
went thru the windshield... scared me ****less. I have a couple other
small cracks, from a tractor trailer too, I wrote those off; No big
deal, but this one is very different.

Anyway, this same thing happened to a good friend. His offender had one
of those stickers: "How's my driving" with an 800 number, which made it
easy. He called the number and they promptly sent him a check. They
told him it happens fairly frequently, especially here in L.A.

I don't see who, other than yourself. Stuff happens. It isn't like a truck
was hauling rocks without a cap.

So you created a dangerous situation just to get information that is, in
essence, meaningless.

What a bunch of ****ing pricks. So Slack should just be a pussy like you
guys and forget about it?
