Hooray, fresh thing to rant about and - GUESS WHAT - it's a car thing again.
Went to go to my car after work today and got in. Start up the car and notice a RATHER SIZABLE crack in it that seems to have started at the bottom edge of it and went IN BETWEEN the panes (or whatever the terminology is, I don't car(e)). And I mean sizable as in that stupid "longer than a hand's length" ones that you apparently can't just get filled in and be done with it. The "if you don't want it, you're replacing your whole damn windshield" ones.
How do I know this? I had a SIMILAR CRACK that suddenly appeared around the same time LAST YEAR (I think it was April/May, since a chunk of my refund check went into it), except it was coming down from the upper edge of the windshield. Which I had to replace.
Since I could drive, I have owned I owned a '90 Ford Truck (used), followed by a '98 RAV4 (also used). I have never had cracks in my windshield. Brand new car? TWO IN A YEAR. And I don't even see the "start" of these stupid goddamn cracks, it's just SUDDENLY HUGE CRACK.
I have no freaking clue how or why this happens but it COMPLETELY soured an otherwise mundane drive home. At least, mundane for DC traffic. Which means a manageable level of annoyance.
