near miss
 
a rare stroke of good luck, sort of. While driving under a bridge a piece of rock fell off and bounced onto the road in front of me. The rock was headed at my headlights :eek:
Too late to avoid it and ping it bounces off the car. I imediately started to cry like a little girl. I pulled over and the rock landed squarely on the clear triangle breaking in two pieces. :D My $1200 headlights spared. What a hassle it would have been to buy just one headlight housing. THat close to a major PITA.

Anyone have a right side clear triangle for sale?

p.s.
I was kidding about crying like a little girl.

"I immediately started to cry like a little girl"

Like Johnny Sacramoni on the Sopranos last night? What's with it and you Jersey wise-guys? :rolleyes:

Glad to hear you and your ride (for the most part) were spared...

I yoosed to live in won of dem towns they film in :D
The restaurant they blew up Bucco's? was actually one of my favorite places but it wasn't Italian at all, French-Spanish fusion called Manolo's.
I's yooosed to have a real problem with that show. Having previously worked in federal law enforcement I thought it was a bit too flattering to those sociopaths.
But the writing is priceless "Allegra? wats dat have to do with allergy medicine?".

Close call. A $40 problem sure beats a $1200 problem.

Oh, and it's ok to cry once in a while.

I still can't believe my luck. Right on the clear triangle. What are the chances
I think I'm going to order some of that 80 mm Vinly Stone Guard.
this was a warning from the Sports Car Gods.
