What a Pain in the Glass!

You know I don't mind driving in the snow out here in Tiny Pop Land.  Hell I don't even mind driving on the ice, no matter how many times I nearly end up in the ditch. That is what 4 wheel drive is for, and I have a Jeep Wrangler which loves that shit. What I do mind however is having to shell out a couple hundred bucks every few months to replace a  fucking windshield. What the fuck is up with that?

Somehow I have managed to own 8 vehicles over the last 29 years I have been driving, and not once did I ever have to replace a windshield on a single one of them before moving to Tiny Pop Land. In the 17 months I have lived here I have replaced 3 windshields so far. Seriously what the fuck is up with that?

I replaced the first one within 5 months of living here. I replaced the next one in the middle of last Summer.  I replaced the last one less than a month ago, and guess what? I have to fucking replace yet another one now. It started on Wednesday and it is now fully running from top to bottom and about to go left to right as well.

For starters, I would love to know what rocket scientist came up with the brilliant fucking idea to use rock as a traction control when it snows (I am guessing Iowa).  Where exactly did that moron think all the rock was gonna end up? Apparently it's going to end up drawn to my windshield like a fly to shit.  More importantly what is his address so I can send him the fucking bill for all these windshields.

Has no one out here in the Midwest ever heard of Sand and Salt for traction control? Hell even used kitty litter would be preferable to Quartzite, which serves no real purpose other than breaking glass. It would be a helluva lot cheaper to wash cat shit off my windshield than to keep paying to replace them.  I figure I can get about 20 weeks worth of car washes for what it costs to replace a single windshield, and that is about 5 weeks longer than the average windshield seems to last out here.

So how about it you Nimrods in charge of this kinda stuff? How about you leave the radioactive Quartzite safe and sound in the ground where it can continue to slowly kill everyone drinking untreated water from one of the local wells, and instead come up with something else to resolve the Winter traction issue other than using rock, or how about I just start sending my repair bills to the State House? Your choice, but I will be damned if I am paying for another windshield replacement after this one. Think I am fucking kidding?

Have fun ;)!

      And to top it off about cracked windshields it's always cracked in your line of vision!

      Murphy's Law

      My only guess if you live or drive where they use gravel on the snow is to get one of those wind shields on the front of your hood, where it might redirect the wind flow up and over your windshield some what..
