I don't think I have owned a vehicle long enough to put that many kms on it.

Mine has a couple pretty good cracks in it and should be replaced.

That is a little over 2 years of driving for me. Over half of that is for work, but ofcourse work would not pay for the windshield if it happened on one of their jobs.

My dad used to commute 90 miles each way for two years and had three windshields replaced.

In a truck or a car?

If that is a truck, then that sucks! How does that work with your insurance down there? Here, we have a glass deposit that is set by the owner. Mine is $200.

Good evening Chris, and anyone who drops by!

Well, Missy, my mare is doing really well! The ferrier found a stone bruise in her sole that finaly grew out to where he could pare it out. I got shoes on her now, and have ponied her on the last two rides
