My girlfriend uses Nationwide and her windshield coverage is 100% (she doesn't pay a penny no matter what).

I have GEICO, and there was no way this was going to be "fixed." When I called the guy his first opinion over the phone was, "maybe we can fix it." I knew this wasn't going to be the case.

When I was going thru Utah, a semi kicked up a huge rock and tossed it at my windshield. I thought I was a goner, but was surprised when it seemed to just bounce off. I even pulled over at the next rest area to check it out and could not see where it hit. I did find the rock though. It was so big that at 85 MPH it did not bounce off, but rather just rolled down to rest by the wiper blades.

Later I had to pull over at a service station to clean the bugs off the windshield (I couldn't see shit), and when I cleaned it, I saw where the rock had hit. Close to center, right at the bottom of the glass. It looked like it had been hit by a small hammer, it was so crushed. I knew I was screwed.

By the next morning I had 2 spiders about 7-10 inches each.
