    I shattered a window like that while driving; had to spit real bad and leaned way over toward the passenger seat then was quickly going to stick my head out the drivers side window in one swift move and spit so none of it would blow back inside, but forgot to roll down the window.

    Freightliner? We have had it happen to 3 of our newer trucks, no joke.

    Are you sure it wasn't @Chinatown with his slingshot and ball bearings?

    No more watching a night at the Roxbury on the road for you.

    LOL... I just watched that Mark Walburg movie where he was a porn star on Net flix last night. Or maybe it was Hulu.. I fell a sleep in the middle of it any way.

    common no, but i have had it happen once its possible a rock could have kicked up and hit it. but tempered glass the hit right will shatter into a million bits with a small impact. one small enough to not hear over the road noise

    Might have been a bullet fired from a long ways off. I was sitting in backed up traffic on a back road in Tennessee when a small crater suddenly appeared on my windshield. MHI it was a small caliber round fired by someone perhaps as much as a mile away.
