Went to pick up some parts for a buddy, was driving home and a big truck going the opposite way fired a sizeable rock off a tire and just middled the windshield. GRRR...

It does suck, but it could always of been worst. Could have hit on the leading edge of the roof or front of the hood, still sucks though.
 
Had that happen to me in my 70 Charger R/T, but it was kids throwing snowballs with rocks it them. I locked up the brakes jumped out and caught one of the little bastards. I was eighteen at the time, I stuffed his dorky face in the snowbank until he cried and ran home! The windshield is still cracked, since 1982.
 
Not that I like exposing my cars to risk but if you are gonna drive them there's always a risk... Actually there's risk even when they are hidden away.... It's a shame your windshield got taken out but look at the bright side, it's just the windshield... Get out there & go for a drive...

I have a buddy with a 70 Cuda 440-4spd... He took a rock to the windshield probably 14-15 years ago, hasn't driven the car since... WTH???
 
Sorry to see that. I Had that happen to me many years ago in my 64 Dodge going to the track and only chipped it.. My truck on the other hand had one like that come out from between the 2 rear tires on a dump truck going 65… I actually ducked!! Got his plate and turned it into insurance and they did nothing cause so many people were lying picking random trucks to pay for their damaged windshields… My insurance paid for it and it cost me nothing..
 
I hate that. I do a windshield a year here in Az.

Because they landscape the freeways with ROCK.
 
Yeah, I think it sucked more due to the size of the rock and that extremely loud "THWACK" on the glass almost made me shat myself.

Have got a claim started with Hagerty. Adjuster should call tomorrow or the next day.

I sure now have the perfect excuse to replace the dilapidated windshield wipers, not that she sees much rain.
 
I don't think it's as bad as it's all cracked up to be. (Sorry, couldn't resist)

Like stated, at least it didn't skip across the hood or dent the roof line. Theres always a chance of getting glass in your eyes also when that happens.
