Hi grumpy -
That sucks -
I just had a repair done on my Z06 - had a rock hit the windscreen from out of nowhere and put a "bb" type of hit on it.
I was reticent about having the whole thing replaced - so I allowed just the repair for now.
BTW - things like this are covered under my comprehensive with $0 deductible - maybe your policy is similar? Worth checking out anyway -
Since I live in a rural area (which means semi-annual pea-graveling of the roads...) I get rock chips regularly. I let them add up and then have them all done at one- I had my trucks windscreen replaced Tuesday.
good luck
best regards -

You sure seem to run into about an annual bad luck case.. 
Sorry to hear that.
What a pain, huh?
Hope you had a Great Thanksgiving.

Awww!! Darn the luck! I heard that in Florida they replace the windshield for free because its a 'safety hazzard'. Might be cheaper to register your car down there, get the new windshield and come back

Sorry Grumpy.. that sucks...Been there done that but fortunately, not in the Vette... (yet)
Here's an idea.. all you guys on the fence of being kicked off the Forum can take up a collection for Grump to pay his deductible...

I'm surprised that you have a $250 deductible on glass. Most insurance companies allow a separate much lower deductible or even no deductible for glass - separate from the comprehensive deductible. Take a look at the fine print or better still call your agent.
My State Farm policy is $250 deductible comprehensive (fire, theft and vandalism) and $0 for glass.
And as far as the "karma" thing, - you control their "karma" here
I'd show them "karma"!

Going thru the same mess were i live...got nailed a few times and windshield has some minor pits..
