Sh!t happens
Would love to blame someone for this, but I guess it was meant to happen - one of these freak accidents I guess
 This afternoon in Midrand, a stone or something from the hedge trimmer came flying along and smacked my passenger window, while I was driving by. Good news is that smash and grab works, bad news is that the window will need replacing. Guess I'm gonna find out tomorrow how long parts for the GT86 take to arrive. Luckily nothing besides the window glass was damaged. Will also be interesting to see how insurance does this - technically it's glass only damage so I need to go to PG/Glasfit, but the parts will probably need to come from Toyota. Just wondering who/where my car will stand by - certainly not going to leave it standing at PG/Glasfit...

Not cool at all! But I'm sure you could get the city to pay. Same as when you hit a pothole.

LOL - the "shattered" pattern does look cool. Maybe I started a new JDM trend to counter the Euro rust look

Waiting on PG glass Fourways. Will know more by tomorrow how long it will take - either way insurance will cover it under glass damage claim only.

Is this window tinted? Surprised to see it not fall apart since it's tempered glass.
