How was your weekend? I bought a new windshield on Sunday. I guess you could call it an impulse buy.
Didn't start the day planning to do that, but while on a short drive past one of the native american casinos, a truck with a trailer in front of me picked up some sort of foreign object and CRACK! went the windshield.
We're leasing the car, and I suspect it's bad form to return it at the lease's end with a cracked windshield, so for the first time in all the years since returning to the USA, I had to file a claim with my insurance company.
I did it all online in about three minutes, and that includes getting an appointment, at their place, with one of the windshield replacement companies, the one with the catchy jingle, and forking over five hundred dollars as my copay for the glass replacement.
I spent some time afterward trying to calculate what an automobile might cost if you replaced it a piece at a time. The answer: too much.
