I was driving home from work this afternoon and a car threw up a stone in front of me and it chipped my front window. Grrrrr.................

I believe our auto insurance will cover this-hopefully !!

Then about 10 minutes after this happened the last road I turn on for my journey home three deer run across the road. Actually only two as there was a vehicle coming the other direction and the last deer changed direction and ran back the way it came. The two ran parallel to the road a ways so I had to watch to make sure the didn't change their minds.

Not a good start to the afternoon.

Sorry to hear about that. I know there are companies that can repair without replacing. What is your comprehensive deductible?

I nearly had a wreck yesterday coming home from the grocery store. I was making a left turn from the far left land when just as I completed the turn, an SUV came down the right lane sideways. The driver had clearly lost control on the wet street (had been raining), thought he could make the light, then slammed on the brake sending the car out of control where it jumped the curb and ended up in a patch of soggy lawn. Whew!

The good news is that neither of us came in contact with the deer or the other car, so it was a good ending.

Close calls for both of you! Glad no one was hurt. Gail, I hope you can get the chip repaired for free.

Here in Ontario, most companies will fix your chips for free! You still put a claim through but the insurance company doesn't charge a deductible if it's a repair.

I know how you feel, I got a rock chip in my hood paint already in our brand new car
I got it touched up and got a deflector put on. I was so mad.
