Windshield FAIL! (ZOMG WTF is wrong w/ my car?!?!)

[wildcat08]

Sorry, had to put that last part in the title.

So I had today off because it's my birfday, so I went and got my oil change/tire rotation done. Then I picked up some new wiper blades at Pep Boys (ProLine blades, since the Bosch Icons are no more and these were buy 1 get 1 free) because the OEM ones are garbage. After putting on the ginormous driver side blade, I was putting on the passenger side blade and the arm slipped out of my hand. It smacked down on the windshield and left a nice 10" long crack running up the windshield. So if you've ever wondered such a thing, a new OEM-ish windshield runs about $250 installed. And I have to go pick up a new gasket for the top of the windshield at the dealership for about $20. At least now I won't have to perform the grueling task of washing the inside of the windshield, I hope.

Coincidentally, yesterday I requested my $250 rewards check from my credit card. Quite honestly, I think the windshield breaking thing is a credit card company conspiracy.

Yeah, so I know one of you wants to buy my practically new Injen intake to help offset the cost of this new windshield. Don't like the price? Make an offer.

Tough luck man. That's pretty strange.

If you'd like to sell an item here on NICO, please read the sticky in Altima Gen Chat. Let me know if you need any help.

why the heck would you be selling the intake already?

Save it, put the windshield on a credit card.

Yup these windshields are garbage

Well, I had posted the intake for sale a few weeks ago, before I broke the windshield. I had posted it in the classifieds and in the Parts For Sale thread, but it got deleted after 2 weeks. Now I notice the link in my sig doesn't work. Maybe it just doesn't work in my browser... So anyways, I'm "building" a house and have a couple things to buy for that so the plan was the sell the intake since I'm not planning on putting a whole lot more into the car.

big_rig, I can't ever tell if you're serious, but I'll send you an email in awhile. I have some homework to do first. I might have to pass on the fruits tho.
