Right now it is 8.2F where I am living... my windshield isn't cracking... oh wait... it is 72F out in my garage. Dang it.
It's sad... it is usually 1 to 2 degrees warmer in my garage than it is in my room...

Pisses me off an insurance company made for soldiers by soldiers is so ****ty. Mans nature to fuuuk everything though right?
Yep, the same as it was when I was in a few years back. Auto glass was its own policy with its own deductible. Never seemed fair then as it doesn't now.

Some rock hit my windshield and left a nice shatter mark the size of a half dollar. It really ticks me off, but I think I'm going to leave it unless it cracks more with the winter weather. Hopefully I won't have to replace it. If I do, I think it is going to be cheaper coming out of pocket 
Who knows if it cracks I'll talk to my dad about replacing it so it can pass inspection. Plus it's on the darn driver's side right above the windshield wiper
Well, at least it can be fixed

I have USAA also and have had a windshield replaced with them. Yes I had to pay the deductible but my deductible on my Comprehensive coverage is only $50. USAA rocks! We have vehicle and homeowners insurance and our checking and savings accounts with them!
