the day before HIN I was pulling in to my driveway like I do every day and I hear something like a shotgun going off in my car scared the crap out of me and I look back to see this WTF? 


Are you kidding me I know my driveway is steep but damn I didnt think the body flexes that damn much.

I think it is pretty obvious what happened. There is no place of impact that broke that.
I don't see why you'd have to pay for anything... insurance should over that?
I remember having a customer drive off in his G coupe after an oil change, came back 5min later with his sunroof blown out. Said he was closing it and when it closed and the windows got rolled up it just exploded. Hardly any glass in the car, it was crazy!

no braces yet but I have my shocks set pretty stiff and my sways are set all the way hard but I have been pulling in my drive way for 2 years now and nothing happened to it till now plus it was a very hot day so that might have played in to it somehow
Man. That IS weird. I don't think your suspension would have anything to do with it. Setting the dampners stiffly only slows how fast it reacts to the road but it doesn't exert any more force on the body if its compressing slowly and the stiff sway bars should actually help the body flex less.
Have you installed anything on the back panel or anything close to the rear window? Maybe you have something sharp mounted really close to the glass and when the body flexed just enough, it touch the glass and broke it.
