Damn rocks or lugnuts or whatever! Dammit! Dammit!

Hey, I sound like Daria Morgendorfer's father when I say dammit repeatedly like that...

Anyway, here I am driving my 2 month old car (a PT Cruiser GT) to work yesterday and I note a large object (presumably a rock, maybe a small alien spaceship) bouncing down the highway RIGHT AT ME dead ahead, and since I couldn't shift lanes, I duck in time to hear a loud BANG on the windshield, and when I look up, a nice spiderweb on the lower left hand corner of the windshield. Do these things detect new cars or what??

Dammit, Dammit! Maybe I better go to the bar...

You have my sympathy, I just had the windsheild changed on my 6 month old car last week. Same thing happened.

That's what you get for buying a PT Cruiser.

Yeah, I know how you must feel. I've been driving around for over two years with a smiley face in my windshield from one of those damn rocks.

My first new car, too.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the PT Cruiser based on the frame of the Neon or something like that? I'm sure I read that in like Car & Driver somewhere.

I'm fairly sure you're right.

Nothing can beat the solid German engineering of my 1992 Vokswagen Jetta, except those bastards who stole my CD player last year, but I've since installed an alarm system so it won't happen again.

Other than that minor issue, she's a very low maintenance car, and I'm happy with it. 8)
