Just can't win this last week

First paint coming off the dash of my '08 and now I need to replace a windshield after today.

One small rock chip on the drivers side, then while I was thinking "what the hell

, well Wayne(Clear Choice Auto Glass) can fix that". Smack a big rock from a on-coming gravel truck hits the passenger side, then spiderwebs to connects with the small rock chip.

. Now at 7200 miles I get to have Wayne replace my windshield tomorrow and then drop the Fozzy off Wednesday to get the dash replaced.

Also took a rock to the front bumper from the same damn truck

. This state has a law stating they must cover their loads, start writing them tickets.

I hate those stupid trucks. One made a nice ding in my hood on a trip to Ohio (now I have a new hood, but this was a HUGE ding).

yeah I have a few nice dings from trucks...........one on the passenger side and one on the scoop. And someone already hit my drivers side door with their door. But I am sorry about your dash and windshield. It just doesnt seem like your weel

Well the windshield is now taken care off, done today. I drop it off tomorrow for the dash replacement.

Well they got the new dash installed and scratched it doing so. Their plan is to have a dash repair guy come out and touch it up, and if it is not up to par(my liking) they will order a 2nd one and try again.

Any one have any experience with touching up/painting a dash and how it holds up?

2nd new dash is in and looks good, new windshield is in and looks good. Lets hope things are on the up and up.
