growing up having "traffic" be 5-10 cars in front of you, to an ocean of cars took me about 2 years to adjust.
Now when I go back to visit my family in Scotts Valley, Santa Cruz, and Lompico I think "these roads are empty".
oh well, at least I am only a fun 25-45 minute drive from home.
I love HWY 17 when it is empty. :bananen_smilies088:

Why do you guys keep replacing your window with the brittle/easy to break suby window. My PPG replacement is of much higher quality. I have had way more rocks hit this windshield than my oem and I have 0 chips. Some is the luck of the draw but it would seem the oem has the highest breakage rate.
The second windshield took a direct hit from a large rock off the back of a quarry truck.
The third windshield was scraped to pieces by an overzealous friend trying to clear snow off it.
Ah, I'm actually on #4 not #5. I had this one repaired though after another major rock strike.

Call a glass shop and ask them for a quote on OEM glass. you'll find it costs more then double of what PPG, or other brands cost. Trust me everyone here that has replaced their windshield's has not gone with OEM glass unless insurance was covering it.
I paid $340 OTD for my second windshield, which now has a spyder crack about 2" from the edge. it's been that way for 6+ months though without growth. Just waiting for the summer sun to crack it.

My fuel door only opens if you latch the lever open. Still trying to figure out how to get it working normally.
Other than that, 37K miles and no issues.

130K on my car. Only major thing was the deteriorated seals which lead to oil leaking onto my headers resulting in lots of smoke and burning smell. I do have a gazillion cracks in my windshield. Most of them from the last three years in Davis.
