SMASH!

Driving an SUV presents a unique challenge: keeping the windshield in one piece for more than a month at a time.

It seems that the height of the 4-runner is *perfect* for rocks to hit the windshield in such a way that it will crack. Every. Single. Time.

My in-laws had it replaced 4 times. I've had it replaced once (I just got the vehicle in October). Guess what happened on the way to class on Monday? Yup. Another crack. Almost all the way across. Lovely.

Off to call the auto-glass shop again,

In the past four years, between two different SUVs, I have had three cracked/broken windshields.

I'm thinking about just putting maksing tape across the windshield now, like they do in windows when hurricanes are on their way.
