I tried entering this post a while ago and pressed "next" then realized I needed to change something (actually, I was gonna have a poll and I'd selected a wrong poll option), and so I hit "back" and it was, of course, all gone, thanks IE. So instead of the nicely worded and prose-friendly version, I'm typing this all in shorthand, so forgive me if it sounds flippant.


- Time for a new windshield, mine's got a great big crack in it.

- Crack doesn't impede my view of the road (it's down low on the windshield), but it would be really nice to replace the windshield.

- I have SWMBO approval for it. She just replaced hers.

- This is not covered by insurance, it's out-of-pocket, hence the need for SWMBO approval.

- SWMBO got a star in hers less than a week after replacing it, though.

- Trip to Portland coming up early November. Drive is ten hours each way on I-5.

- Would really like a fresh clean new windshield with fresh wipers for the trip.

- Portland trip is so long that it would exponentially increase the chance that I'd get a stone from a big-rig's tire and waste the money on the replacement.

Opinions?
