Re: The Official John Lee Jr Thread

Got my first windshield crack. A shotgun blast of gravel to John Lees face on the way home yesterday. Mudbogger Boy darted around me (I was 65 in a 55 zone and in the right lane), guess I wasn't fast enough, but, his RR tire decided to unload a double handfull of mud and river rock into the driverside of my windshield. I seem to recall seeing at least 5 stones hit the windshield in my line of sight, nice circular shotgun blast pattern.

I wound up with one bullseye and 1/2 inch crack in the 11 oclock position of my vision, just at the bend of the windshield from flat face to piller.

Oh well, Off to Oreillies for the Permatex Small Crack Repair kit and we'll document its use here...and in about a month we'll see how it holds up goin from warm garage to cold driveway.

I spect it'll crack again eventually and give me the impetuous to replace the windshield with an upper tinted one and slide out that frosty back glass for a Slider Window.

But, maybe it'll buy me just one more season with the original glass.
