Damn trucks!
Yep, I watched the effing rock fly up from the truck in front of me and WHACK, spider crack the size of a quarter with a chunk of glass missing out of the center. Arrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh, so pissed!!!!!! MotherFather!!! This'll be the second windshield replacement on my G in less than a year. DAMMIT!
Ok, I feel a bit better now. Oh wait, no I don't! Grrrrrrrr

i HATE semi trucks and pickup truck. I will floor it if necessary to pass a semi, and will steer clear of pick up trucks at all costs. In Alberta it seems that everyone who has a pick up truck is making up for a lack of something, so they buy the biggest truck the can and drive like *******s

That's like the 1st year I had mine and going down the freeway (in the fast lane) and a truck in the slow lane (yep 2 lanes over but ahead of me) losses a 6 in piece of 1x1 channel iron. I see it bounce and take an odd kick into my lane. I speed up to avoid it and it was close. When I got to work I take a check it it really gouged my passenger rear wheel. $200 to me to get it repaired. Oh well, it taught me a lesson to avoid all trucks, big *** 4x4's and PT Cruisers (I just think the PT Cruiser drivers drive bad.)

What sucks is that I also try to avoid all trucks fr this very reason....but was boxed in with commute traffic & had nowhere to go. I swear it was a piece of road base cuz I literally saw it fly up from the effer's tire and hit the glass like a bullet. The other side of my brain has shown me the bright side in the last 20 minutes though....I now will have a nice clean pitless windshield again. ;-) ......but it's a freakin hassle. Damn

Ha, I just got home and the first thing I did was check the hood to make sure....thankfully it only hit the glass. Damn thing sounded like a gunshot & scared the hell outta me even though I watched it happen in slow motion.

+1 on glass vs paint. My car has something like 653 miles on it and there's a noticeable (well, at least to me) chip in the paint on my hood already from a rock :/
But that does suck. I try to only drive behind cars smaller than me. Which is really hard :P
Sorry to hear that though, I hear if you alternate really hot water and really cold water on it, it will help it "self-heal".
(Please don't take that seriously, it will probably break your windshield. I'd say find a good place to get it repaired and get it repaired before it gets bigger/worse.)

I too picked up a rock in the windshield last week..but just a small pit and not enough damage to warrant replacement or repair...just irritates me every time I see it.
