Dirty roads **** me off. In south Texas it rarely rains. Drainage on city streets sucks. When it does rain craters open up. The local road crew rolls around and hot patches everything. Then it gets hot again and the patches start to come apart. There's debris everywhere...
They should have 'cracked windshield' as standard equipment on new cars down here. Sucks.
Sorry to hear about the damage. It can be fixed but that's not the point. Be glad your windshield took the rock instead of your front fascia or grill or hood or mirror or something else that would have been harder to repair. That's how I would look at it anyway. Sacrifice the glass.

I feel your pain! :-( I had my car 1 week when I got my first chip....very exciting I must say. Hit the windshield and ran like a son-of-a b$%ch. Nice foot long crack. Needless to say, I got it repaired. Was a sad day. Not as sad as when a piece of fencing material flew up and hit my front bumber as I was doing 80 down the freeway....but I digress.

Actually, mine broke like a few months in to ownership (of my '03.5 sedan) as well. Turns out that the factory didnt install the glass properly and it cracked on its own with stress and temperture change.
It was replaced under warranty after a quick examination at the dealership revealed that the cracked started from the installation point, and not from a foreign object.
A few months later, my brother in law gets a '04 sedan too... His windshield broke in 3 weeks, and he too got it done under warranty... For the same reason. Same crack at the same location... Who would'a guessed?
