I had the windshield in my pickup get a 2 inch round blowout one time and I was the only vehicle around for miles. Either I threw a rock out of a tire and drove into it, a rivet fell off a plane or somebody in the woods was shooting guns and a stray bullet hit me. Brand new windshield, barely made it 2 weeks too.
Rocks thrown up ruins my weekend!!

Oof been there done that. Had someone actully shoot my truck once. Moron was going for a yote and didnt see the neon red pickup going down the road behind it. Put a round into the side of my engine and a nice gapeing hole into my head.....not even a month after i changed the head gaskets and swapped a piston tooCrude Truckin', AModelCat and bentstrider83 Thank this.

I honestly thought I did get shot at last night. Feeling around for blood and/or wound. Thought going through my head: "Well, guess my anger cost me this time around. Get ready to meet the fiery maker!!"

I was not trying to be condescending
You seem to want to blame the bull hauler almost like he done it just to mess with you. Sheet happens hand, part of life. No ones fault or to blame wrong place right time. We all got a job to do. He was just doing his like you were doing yours. Not that that will change your mindBadmon, Crude Truckin', Feedman and 7 others Thank this. -
I’ve seen a decent temporary fix on YouTube with plexiglass. I think it was done by trucker Josh
bentstrider83 Thanks this. -
#### happens, not like he did it on purpose. When you're on dirt and gravel as much as they are you get a lot of rocks stuck in the tires.drvrtech77 and Cattleman84 Thank this.

I had almost the exact same thing happen to me a few months back, in the same area. I was running 287 from Ft.worth to denver and a grain trailer was passing me with no mud flaps. He cut me off so close that the rocks he threw up cracked my front windshield.
Funny thing is, I saw him in the next small town and he flipped me off lol. I guess he was mad that I can't go over 70mphLast edited: Jan 29, 2022
mjd4277 and bentstrider83 Thank this. -
At this point, everyone is right and I'm wrong. Maybe I should just call it quits on everything if I get this riled up over things out of my control. Or my own see-saw health will do it for me. Try to get healthy and then you realize everyday is just going to be a fight.cuzzin it Thanks this.

It’s a fight your making. No one else is trying too. Seriously it’s ok
drvrtech77, Badmon, Crude Truckin' and 2 others Thank this. -
A nice big sign with the "C" word back to him. Or I would've licked my lips seductively. Confuse them with over-kindness.
