windshield

A few days ago I dropped Trudy off at work in the morning, turned the car around and started on my way back home, expecting a normal happy, pleasant day.


On the way back on the perimeter I got hit by not just one, but by two rocks, tossed into the air by a truck.


If you enlarge the above picture and look carefully, you can see the resulting crack, abour 20 inches long! $200.00 comes out of my pocket, and when I took it in to the dealer, those eager mechanics found another $700.00 of work that "needs" to be done on that car.

Some days are happier than others I guess!

OOOWWWW poor you!
This stupid garages ask way too much! But the most important is, that YOU came home safe....

As an example "how much garages ask"... I asked mine 'what it would cost to repair my doorlock + the ashtray-door (beside the yearly turn), because both locks in the frontdoors were broken, This 3 things would cost me a 350 EURO (around 450 can dollars) to repair this... Because I also had to pay my yearly CAR garage-safely-turn , I thought I better wait. (the yearly cost were Euro 500,)All together this would be 850 euro! (around 1000 Can dollars) So I only payed my yearly garageturn. The rest can wait....
