This is why I usually get the glass coverage on my insurance. We have had to use it once before, so it worked out & we carry it all the time now. Especially since we now have a mini van...sooooo much glass. Of course we live in western NY & with the winter roads out here you are always in danger of a stray rock...

My CRV had the same problem this spring and I paid a $50 ded. for the repair. You may have already thought of this, but thought I'd throw it out there. good luck!

Sometimes a good way to test the waters is to throw out a semi-joke. If your idea flies then you're golden. If not, back off and let them know "I was just joking"! Obviously, in this case I didn't have a chance. Thanks, I’m glad you appreciated my humor. Sometimes a good way to test the waters is to throw out a semi-joke. If your idea flies then you’re golden.

December can always be such a hectic time of the year. It looks like you're handling it though. By the way, nice joke. Even though your wife may not have laughed about "not getting her anything," I did. Man…sorry that your windshield cracked and sorry that it has destroyed your monthly budget.
