A new fucking windshield, my commute is all highway of which a huge section is under construction. Which mean pebbles, pebbles everywhere.
Old windshield has been cracked since August but my inspection is due this month so it needed to be done to pass.
Glad my state doesn't do inspections for things like that because I'd be buying windshields like crazy. I feel like I've never had a car longer than a year where it didn't crack.
My windshield got chipped the second I bought my Subaru and drove out of their parking lot. Dump truck drove by right as I was leaving and a pebble landed on my brand new windshield.
I drive a subaru (18 limited trek) and haven't had this issue yet. Drive around 1000+ miles a month between work and road trips to central california (Yosemite/Sequoia), AZ and Utah. Heard tons of horror stories though through forums, reddit, etc.
It was a big-ass pebble in springtime Quebec City, our roads are probably comparable to Liberia or some other war-torn African country (it's so bad for real) especially in the spring with gigantic potholes and pebbles everywhere, so it's no surprise I received a pebble. Didn't really crack, just chipped. I refused to get it changed and it's still there, hasn't really been a bother.
Haven't really had anything nothing wrong with the car itself (Outback '16) except something that was covered under warranty (faulty computer) but I do take good care of it and make sure maintenance is up to date. I had to get the head gaskets changed on my '07 Impreza 2.5 and that was a bitch I hadn't planned for. I knew of the known issue, but hoped I'd be spared, it happened at a moment where money was tight. I also didn't take good care of that car and shit ended up being expensive, that's on me though... I learned my lesson. Apparently the head gasket issue has been resolved; I hope, because I don't feel like dropping 1600$ on the repair..
