First, I'd just like to point out that my car sat in the tree-lined parking lot at my apartment all weekend while we took the wife's Yaris (Automatic... Cruise Control... better for long highway drives) to visit family in upstate New York; So my car is absolutely COVERED in pollen in the picture below.
So I hear a rock hit my windshield on the highway on the way back from my lunch break on Tuesday, but It hit right near the rearview mirror in that textured area... so I didn't notice a chip. When I came back out to my car after work, this is what I found...
I've never had a windshield chip and then spread this fast in the 12 years I've been driving. It was either a HUGE friggin' rock, or this is really soft glass... or maybe hard and brittle? Either way, I had to get it replaced yesterday.
