Hey Kent, what brings you to the S car list...thinking of another automotive
purchase?

Speaking of windshields, I picked up a rock chip in my wife's A6 a week ago.
Directly within my line of sight. 

My glass guy, Village GlassSmith of Wellesley (MA), is doing the glass on
Friday morning. Car will sit for at least 24 hours after the R&R.

The Village GlassSmith has done 3 or 4 windshields for me over the years,
and the owner, Donny, does a great job. He's very careful to remove the old
glass without scratching any metal or causing any damage. Highly
recommended.
