Not today but Friday - washed the car to get ready for a trip to the drag strip yesterday (Saturday). As I was cleaning he windshield a "glint" caught my eye coming around to the passenger side. Apparently a rock hit me at some time right on the edge of the windshield and now there is a crack snaking up that is about a foot long. Not sure when it happened because I only noticed the crack Friday, which keeps growing. It started very low on the windshield and from inside the car it was hidden from view until it started moving upwards.
Have to get the windshield replaced now. Insurance will be so happy. Already have a claim on my wife's Lincoln in process because she went over the curb leaving my office and broke the rocker panel cover on the passenger side.
And at the drag strip yesterday I had to run on my street tires - I switched from my winter wheels and tires to the summer wheels and tires on Thursday. Couldn't put the drag radials on because I had surgery the Friday before and with only a week post-surgery I wasn't able to get the drag radials down off the rack, into the car, so I could take them to the track. My buddy said he would put them on for me, but getting them into the car, and then out when I got back home was the issue. It's really hard to launch this car on street tires - lots of wheel hop and spin, and about the 1/8 mark the summer P-Zero's kept breaking loose on a shift and I had to lift to recover. I ran a full second slower than last year compared to my time on my drag radials.
