So I was driving down the M4 one day
When a rock came a-flyin' my way
It hit the windscreen
spoiling the new car sheen
what a way to ruin the day
Building on that hopeless little rhyme, on Saturday I was driving on the M4 when a rock of some sort was dislodged by an SUV and hit my windscreen at speed. The windscreen of my new car, the car that I had only picked up 25 hours before. I now have to spend however much to replace the windscreen... My car insurance may help, but me being a tightarse of epic proportions (when it comes to additional features, anyway!) won't make it easy - when I changed my policy a couple of days ago I stupidly decided against including the windscreen option. $45 a year and this could have been a non-issue.
Anyway, if you leave aside the above I am really enjoying the new car.

Windscreen replaced. Car looks new once again.

Totally sucks when that happens!
25 hours must be some kind of record!

Saw a 'new' car up for auction recently, repairable write-off. Storm damage. 3500km on the dial!

Woah that sucks. Condolences. I think TeX has a similar experience, except it involved a falling tree.
