I believe it's the radio / nav antenna - there's no other mast on my Metris, not even one of those little stubby rubber things.

Yup, it's been covered.

Well that spells for an expensive windshield repair. Hope it never happens to anyone.

 

[RobbMeeX]

$1300 rough estimate based on previous repairs.
Oh, that's parts only.

 

[Greenmanedlion]

That's why one carries insurance, no?

 

[RobbMeeX]

Not when we break them ��

 

[Greenmanedlion]

I'm pretty sure my comprehensive covers that.

 

[RobbMeeX]

We the dealership techs.

 

[Greenmanedlion]

Ah. That happens? :s

 

[RobbMeeX]

I have personally closed the hood on a 221 with an SDS multiplexer on the cowling. CRUNCH. Not a good feeling.

yipes. Good to know. Dump truck with load in front of you on highway? Floor it and get ahead of 'em!

If I need to floor it to pass a dump truck, it's gotta be a Mack R body. Those are the only things I don't blow past as a matter of course.

I like to pass with authority. Same goes for those who move over from the left lane when they finally get out the way.

I used to do that, but it's hard when the acceleration drops off at just 101.
