So yesterday, my car went in for a 120k service, and when we picked it up in the evening, the windshield looked a bit odd but then I got distracted and forgot about it. Till I was driving to work at oh-dark-thirty and the sun started coming up. And I saw a huge crack in my windshield. Um. Not okay.
Strange, right?
I emailed our mechanic, and ended up going by after work. As it turns out - it was there when they picked it up yesterday morning! (We dropped it off Sunday night.) There's no sign of impact, no other damage to the car, so it remains a mystery as to what might have caused it. Anyway, we're going to get the windshield replaced when I go in Wednesday for my new front tires. The owner is great, though; he worked out a deal with the glass person which ends up with me only paying the wholesale price for the repair.
Sometimes, I wish life were just simple.
