funny! I will note that with lots of sand/grit, road miles one of the best things I did was replace the windshield in my truck when it hit 11 yrs old. Thing was pitted, made for glare regardless of how clean it was, sucked. I had hoped for 2+ years a rock would do it in .. pondered the ball peen hammer but just decided to replace one day.
Foolish me, expected $500, only $180 bucks complete, driving it home into the sun simply had me smiling and knowing it was one of my best spends. (wipers work better too!)
