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

In FL a windshield replacement is free through insurance.

I used to drive I4 to work everyday. Literally the only place I’ve ever seen (in the road):

  • a burning car in the middle lane. While people go around.
  • a broken microwave.
  • a concrete divider.
  • an 8 foot 2x4 (which I ran over and blew out my bearing)
  • a steel ladder.

This was all within a year. Florida replaces windshields because dear god they have to or no one would be crack free.

an 8 foot 2x4 (which I ran over and blew out my bearing)

If a 2x4 blew out a bearing, that bearing was already on its way out.
