Re: windshield pitting

[rlpplsky <rlpplsky@ix.netcom.com>]

This is what I thought and living in Colorado, I was replacing mine every
two years.  Then my insurance company tried to cancel me for this and now I
am somehow blacklisted on a secret insurance company list for
overutilization and I have trouble getting insurance.  God, I love insurance!

I just hope that when I have an accident because I can't see when driving
towards the sun, I will survive to sue the Hell out of the insurance company.
