Angry Golf ball attacks Yaris windshield.

Two evenings ago, my two month old, Yaris was hit in the windshield by a stray golf ball. We were doing about 50mph when it hit. I didn't know I could string so many cuss words together, so fast! Never did see the idiot who hit the ball.

I spent a couple hours on the phone with the insurance and glass dealers today. Two major glass shops don't even carry the windshield yet. A local shop will have one here in two weeks. The Toyota dealer said they could have one here in a couple days, but the price seemed high. (Close to $800!)

Watch those golf courses!

Thats balls man!

I was just almost in an accident myself. I was turning left into a gym's parking lot and a guy leaving the parking lot driving some beat up old 90s honda BUSTED it out of the parking lot trying to beat the on coming traffic and nearly ran right the fuck into me bc he wasnt looking in the other direction!

He was came so fast outta a corner of the lot I never saw him driving straight at me either until i was almost in the lot!

I and he slammed on our breaks and LUCKILY stopped before hitting my baby! JESUS! And luckily the cars coming in on coming track never hit us either!

Im slightly stressed right now!

Are you sure it was stray?

A few years ago I had some kids push a shopping cart into the side of my car on a main road, smashed my mirror into my window which just exploded into me. lucky it was on the passenger side of the car and no one was sitting their at the time.
