Sorry to hear that...could have been worse. When I picked up my car, less than 2 hours and some nut job exiting the freeway slams into my front fender. He didn't have insurance and had a suspended license. But it's all good now! Love the PCar

at least this is an used car, new to you.
i got a brand new car from the dealer and while i was driving home within 10 minutes a truck drops whole bunch of **** and got a flat tire. it was painful. and yes where is the rocket launcher when u need it.
also, another time (my fault) within putting 19" Custom wheels on my BMW, i curbed it. I was gonna cry i thought.

This is life, i just don't believe in curse anymore. Just try to make the best out of it.

You got a new car, enjoy it and don't let things like that make you think it's some curse etc.

Life is short, enjoy.

Well, congrats on the pickup at least. Give one of those windshield repair kits a shot...I think they can do ok on the divot chips.

Congratulations on your new C4S - you will love it! Sorry about your windshield - that is too bad. I recently had a 997TT out on a test drive and the same thing happened to me. I returned it with a big divot right in the middle of the window - I felt horrible! Stay far away from trucks.

Thumbs up

A little windshield ding is not a "Curse"....just a little "Test" .

Congrats on the new 4S!
