Then the rocks can just take out your face instead... Great idea!

On the way into work this morning a rock the size of a golf ball hit me dead center of my vision. I was going about 65 mph. Scared the out of me! I can't believe it didn't even chip my window!

Had a rock on the highway slam my windshield 3 days after getting my Jeep. Aside from a very tiny chip, there's not damage. Hardly even visible.

I used to get at least one a week when I lived on the highway. I thought moving into town would solve that problem. The last couple of chips I got last month came off my own tires!

Had fun cracking mine. Problem is the near upright position. The windshield is a sitting duck.
