That's surprising when your taxes, registration fees, and fuel prices are through the roof. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. I do suggest to shop around as well! Getting a quote is free and there are no strings attached.

I have total glass coverage in my insurance policy and they replaced my windshield for free. It only costs me an additional $14 a year.

Well this being my first vehicle, and the fact that it's just an old XJ I only got liability insurance on it to save some money. It would be great if I had full coverage but I already spend enough on gas for this pig haha. Straight piping my XJ was the worst financial decision I've ever made because I can't drive for 20 minutes without a 2-3 pull etc.

Yeah, well, the chances are another one will crack could be 10 years ..or never? I guess in 10 yrs you'd pay $140, so maybe it is worth it. My ins costs more than that for windshield.

It sucks when a guy is REALLY young, they really nail ya on insurance. But then a lot of young guys drive w/o a care in the world too (probably not you). Get married and it'll drop!

I'm one of few in my high school that hasn't been in a major accident at some point lol. Just last week 3 kids from my school got in a 3 way wreck. One kid in his truck was fishtailing on purpose since the roads were icy, and started to lose control. Another kid in his truck who was following too close rear ended him in a 1 ton dually with a ranch hand, damn near ripping off the bed of the poor little F-150. Then a third kid swerved wayyy too hard for the conditions and ended up rolling his car into the ditch. The only accident my XJ has been in was when a girl was parking in a spot behind me on a hill, and slid right into the hitch. She happened to pick the day that I had my big tow hook in my receiver so her car didn't exactly look great after that.

I had my screen crack the very first time I took it to my caravan. We jump started a garden mower which doesn't fully disengage its cutting deck, it must have thrown a stone my way and crack. I had it repaired on insurance but found a lot of rust in the frame which I had to repair. Being in the UK, I can't really give you any suggestions on where to go though so good luck with getting your replacement.

Then he'll just pay in other ways...

I always get rock chips in the glass repaired ASAP. Don't wait. Costs me $30 per star at the local glass shop, but I have never had a repair turn into a full blown windshield crack.

When I got mine it wasn't a typical "chip" I guess. It was to cracks about an inch long making a plus sign. I didn't think that a crack like that was really repairable or able to be stopped.
