    The Navajo, in prehistoric times, believed that a vulture flying into your windshield was a lucky omen.

    Sorry 'bout the windshield, but its replacable. Congrats on the NB deal. Tell'em if they want they can throw some "extra" shoes my way! While you were blazing over those hurdles I was trotting at a lesser pace through Ironman Arizona. I am sore as hell. Think I would have learned after the first 9.

    LittleBeast,
    Driving my kids to school a couple of years ago in the VX a lug nut thrown from a vehicle going the other way sailed.... I mean SAILED into my front windshield. It inbedded into the glass and sent small glass splinters throughout the VX. Everyone was fine except for small glass splinters. When we replaced the glass we noticed a difference. The new replacement glass has a sun shield on the top. The original glass didn't come with it. It does take time to get used to. When the seats of the VX sits so high anyway, it makes a difference.

    PS- one less vulture in the world. Thank you is in order. Sorry to hear about your dent though.

    Ha! I'll be sure to tell my GF's father about this - Vultures decided to use his boat as a "hang-out" when it was parked in the cove behind his house one day, and literally DESTROYED the interior (claws, beaks, defecation ) - He'll be happy to hear about one less vulture in the world!!

    Funny!

    "prehistoric" times.... flying into a "windshield". I've always wondered what cars looked like back then?

    Prehistoric "windshield"

    A prehistoric windshield probably looked a lot like my modern windshield after getting quickly introduced to the now dead vulture, which looks like this....

    Fred Flintstone probably looked through a windshied much like this one while he was spinning his feet and laying down some serious skin on the asphault, I mean uh road, uh path, well whatever they drove down.
    In Christ,

    I too suffered the fate of a "heat & glass seeking 18 wheeler airborne lug nut" that took out my windshield. It was on my way home from work at 4:30 am---not another vehicle on the road but us two---3 other open lanes of westbound Interstate travel options--and I get hammered. Such is life.

    Ryan- that sounds like a decent price. I remember paying $337 ($199 for the glass...$20 for the quick set glue...$100 labor...+ tax) and that was back in '02. Got mine done at Able Auto Glass out by the 'dome and remember them telling me I got the only VX windshield, at that time, in Houston. If you still plan on meeting up with us on the 23rd please bring the photos. Should make for interesting conversation out back by the cement pond.
