Was this recently?!
Well, it isn't pretty to see a lovely Black SS looking sad, but it is replaceable--you aren't.
Hope you're ok!
DUH--just looked this up, DANG! Again, car is replaceable...

if not and you keep the current one take the time to possibly do a 2 tone paint scheme (sp?)

I don't have a picture but on Monday I was on the Highway and a dump truck dropped some rocks or gravel out of its load and one bounced back up and put a nice crack in my windshield. I was like 5 car lengths behind so it was not like I was following closely. But I did speed up to get the number off the back and when I got closer I noticed that there was a decent sized hole in the back of the truck and the vibrations were causing rocks to spill out. I called the number and the a$$holes said they are not responsible for damage from debris off their truck and when I explained to them about the hole all they had to say was "well its an old truck and there is nothing we can do about that"
I am not a happy camper. I took it to a glass repair place and they said it did not go through the windshield and it is less than 2 inches in diameter so they can fix it and make it look good as new for about $80.

I'm really not looking forward to the day I get my first paint chip or dent.

I'm on the last day of a 2-week road trip through California, and today a stone was kicked up by a pickup ahead of me while doing about 75 mph, and I've now got a nice crater in my windshield, luckily on the passenger side. Sounded like a gunshot going off - scared the crap out of me. Don't know if it's fixable, I've never had a damaged windshield before. It's about the size of a dime, with some small cracks just starting to spread out.

In the first couple weeks of ownership of my GP, a stone hit the windshield and put a nice gouge in it. And of course it was right at eye level and in the line of sight. I never pursued getting it fixed and I got a few more as time went on.
I'm waiting any day now for the first rock to damage the SS windsheild. And the SS windsheild is much more vertical than the GP, so the damage will likely be worse.
