An unfortunate new camera tease

So the other day i was removing my golf clubs from the trunk after a day at the links (74 btw). When all of a sudden as i was walking towards my garage my phone rang. As i went to grab my phone i turned a little bit and my clubs slammed right into the passenger side window. Curses were immediately expelled when the unmistakable sound of shattering glass was heard. Some where around the word slut since all the major curse words were already said i answered the phone and said "you nazi bitch you made me break my window" (we call a guy at work the nazi since he is german mofo) then hung up on him.

On the positive side, since i have tints the window is in one piece and i didn't have put a garbage bag in the window and have my 1 look ghetto as hell since it has rained like every day in NJ for the past month...WTF.

But enjoy the Photo and when i get the car back and detailed i will take some more pics.

He means because the tint held the glass together so it didnt collapse inside, not that the tint would prevent the window from breaking (although it may make it a negligible amount stronger).

All that golf has made your rotational force too strong for a car window. Time for more burgers and tv to avoid this next time.

Think I'm going to tint 30% all around now. Don't like anything too dark but this just confirmed it lol. Sorry about your 1! For what it's worth, that's a pretty cool pic

Personally, I wouldn't go through the dealership. Try one of those mobile repair service operations (e.g. Glass Doctor, etc.). If you're paying out of pocket it'll probably be cheaper and they'll come right to your house or place of business.

But ask them both for estimates and decide from there.

Haha, I would have said I found it like that but the time for that has passed.

You need to take up yoga or something that doesn't threaten your 1.
