Buzzard shattered my windshield.

My husband & I left our house early Friday morning to drive to Tennessee, we found some land up there we wanted to look at. I was not even at the halfway point when I hit a buzzard. I was going almost 80mph when I hit it. Kevin was asleep when I hit it. There was 4 of the birds in the road, 3 walked towards the left into the medium, on flew left into my windshield. We were lucky & found a glass shop in Tupelo that actually had my windshield in stock.

Holy S**T! I'm really sorry to see that happen to you, but I'm glad no one (But that damn bird!) was hurt! What did the new windshield set you back?

no worries, you should be covered 100% on your auto insurance for comprehensive. Just sucks that it had to occur in the first place. In other words, you can probably get re-embursed, considering it was not your fault (they assume it is usually not your fault considering it is your windshield).
