I'm PISSED OFF!!!!
well I am venting...so there ya go!!
I was called out to work today....wasn't supposed to be there...but was called and told I had to come in....I decided to drive the P-5 since my truck was full of gas and I had to take it on a long trip tomorrow and didn't feel like having to fill it back us AGAIN before we left....on my way to work a frickin buzzard hit my windshield and took it OUT!!! nearly came all the way through the damn thing.....here I am with a NEW car, not even 3300 miled on it and a frickin buzzard nearly comes through my windshield....not only is it going to cost me the $150 to have it replaced...but its going to cost to have the registration sticker replaced...AND I will have to pay to have the safty inspection redone...grrrrr....and in texas you get a safty inspection that is good for TWO years when you buy a new car....and the ones after that are only good for ONE year....so now I am going to have to get it done AGAIN next year too!!! DAMN FRICKIN BUZZARDS!!!!!! the worst part yet...is if I had taken my truck....its windshield is already cracked...and had it busted that one I really wouldn't have cared!!!! SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: |
you hit a buzzard? how the heck does that happen? I thought birds never get hit by cars and would always fly away in time? :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
|
damn, and i thought my luck was bad. usually birds just sh!t on my car... :mad:
|
Where you speeding Sir Nuke :nono: :nono: :nono:
Just kidding, that does happen on rare occasions when those damn birds dont pay attention then fly into your window :(.... You lucky it didnt go through the window and hit you causing you to crash thats the good thing ... Good thing u safe, but i know you are very VERY pissed about all the time and money the stupid bird will cause you. |

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
must be a FAT buzzard!!!! |
they go 3 to 4 pounds on average....and have a main body about the size of a softball.....so just imagine a softball hitting you at 60 MPH.....made a hell of a bang!
|
Isn't your insurance going to cover the costs of replacing the windshield ???
|
PART of it....but not my deductable..... :{(

man you and animals.....first a cow now a buzzard....man yopu really need to watch out for those animals....lololololololo:D
|
Sir Nuke ,I feel for you .You should see what happens when you hit a Ruffed Grouse (about the size of a small chicken ) at 120kph
(70mph)in a 92 Protege . The grill and bird blow up and you get lots of parts all over the front of the car.What a mess! |
TheMan, already talked to the shop about that one....they had to order it but will have it on monday.....and I KNOW they can remove the stickers and put them back on...seen it done before...just don't know if they will or not...and I am going to be at work when they do the work...my wife will be here though....I went to the trouble of removing the rearview mirror, the wipers, and the vent covering myself....now there is no need for them to be messing with any of it.
Craigrrrp.....and least I am working my way DOWN in size!! next time the damn critter should be small enough that I don't even have to attempt to miss him! lol SPLAT!!!!! :{D Mack...I am actually GLAD that if I had to hit this thing...it hit the window and not the front end....there is no telling what all damage it would have done.... A few years back I was going home from work and it was right after dark...I was following a ford truck that was kind of jacked up...anyway....I could see UNDER his truck out in front of him and actually saw a rat or mouse run across the road in his headlights...and RIGHT behind him was a OWL!! and BAMMMM!! instand cloud of feathers as he landed right smack dab in the middle of that ford grill!!! .... made me think that the mouse/rat was sitting on the center strip looking back at the owl flipping him off!! lol (ever seen the poster "the last great act of defiance??) |
I live in TX 2
My dad had to have his windshield replaced. They just re-issued him new stickers, the state did.
|
oh they will reissue you new stickers...but you have to PAY for them!!
|
WHy do you need new stickers? I replaced my windshield on the last car and just got a new razor blade and dug into the glass and got em off without tearing. Or douse with windex on a hot day any you may be able to slide em. Shit come down to Sa these fucks practically give away inspection stickers. I have never been through a real inspection Always...Do your lights work? Yep... ok here you go.

this is the first time I have delt with this particular glass shop in town....they do have the rep for being the best BTW....anyway...it just really depends on the tech they send....for it IS against the law....you are SUPPOSED to not only obtain a new inspection sticker.....but ALSO a new registration sticker.....but they have this really neat stuff in a spray can that just lifts the things off and then stick them back on the new windshield....works like a champ...just depends on the glass shop...
WELL.... the guy just left anyway...and he transfered my stickers so I don't have to worry about that....I got home right after he got to old windshield off....did a really good job....you couldn't tell its a replace ment if you had to....of course...that is the quality of job I expected. something else...the techs at the glass shop ALL wanted to do the job as soon as they found out it was a P-5....none of them had ever had a really close look at one....ya see there are only 6 in the entire area around here......the guy they sent out WON :{D kind of made me feel good. :D |
