We are back in Georgia. I ran the tank nearly empty on the trip home. Along I 85 I filled up with premium and can say that it now starts fine... I am on the second tank and made about 10 short trips without a starting issue... Also the Stage I package arrived when I was in Boston [^] But that will have to wait. [xx(] While travelling down I-95 near New Haven CT a van in front of me kicked up what looked to be a "brick" I couldnt do anything except watch it come down on us like a fly tipped baseball. Smashed the upper drivers side of the windshield and put a ding in my door the size of your palm  [V] I've been driving for 39 years and my 1st accident. Well maybe not an accident but a claim to the insurance company. [xx(] My luck they'll double my rates[|)]

At least you weren't behind that fuel truck that melted one of CTs bridges on 95! You should've seen the traffic snarls due to that!
I got knicked on my way up to Maine last Thanksgiving. On Thursday, the crack was a little star. By Saturday I had a line across 1/3 of my windshield.
The news is that Safelite gave me a better windshield that seems more resistant to the road debris that gets kicked up. Also, it has a blue stripe across the top of the windshield instead of those silly black dots.
I don't know about your insurance co. but here in CT insurance companies are required to provide glass insurance for $2/yr. No deductibles for broken glass replacement (although I'm limited to 2 windshields / yr) and no effect to insurance rates. Hopefully your insurance will cover you.
