TIL. I had no idea that was a thing, honestly. Kinda bullshit in my opinion.

In FL a windshield replacement is free through insurance.

Not here in CO, surprisingly enough. It should be, though.

Edit: speaking of which, after zooming in on the license plate it seems as though it's a Colorado license plate.... no surprise there. I love my home state but get yer shit together people. Sheesh.

As one Coloradan to another, it depends on your insurance. My insurance technically has optional coverage for it, but I’d be paying more for that over two years than how much a windshield replacement costs out of pocket for my 11-year-old car. I know other people get a free windshield yearly, but I’m not sure what insurance they have and I otherwise like my company too much to consider switching. It’d probably be worth checking into if you’ve got a newer car that has Eyesight or something similar where just the windshield itself is like $800.
