Well folks... It happened to me... The dredded backglass... ARGH... I was taking Tara (my hottie wife) to the mall to get some new clothes (cherry creek mall for the coloradons), I go to pull into the covered parking lot and I see that the clearance was 6'10"... We'll I'm thinking hey the one at work is 6'7" so no problem!!! I jump on the gas to go up the hill... I hear this THUNK, CLANG and PCHHHeeeewrerer... There goes the back glass on my explorer... Well with my stupidity I forgot to take off my CB antenna!!! DOH!!! DOH!!! DOH!!! and it echoed through the parking garage.... Well I hit it hard enough for the whip to come back with enough force that when the tip hit the glass it shattered into a million pieces...

Well Tara freakes out because she heard people talking at CCR about how expensive they are... I told her it would only be $100 TGFI!!! Thank Goodness For Insurance!!! Well I took some pics...

It looks like the sticker that shows our bond as an internet/explorer community also was the only thing that held ANY of my window together!!!

Hey Rick... Think you can hook me up with another one of those big stickers??? PLEASE... I'll buy it if I need to... But I need another one... This one was only 6 days old... Not even a week before its short life had to come to an end :(

Bummer, gotta love insurance. At first I was like 6'10 dang his might be taller than mine and that didnt make sense, but the antenna. Gotta love insurance.
BTW Great pics from ccr2001

Doh!!! I'll set you up Heath. Just PM me your info.

Rick

SOLUTION SO THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN
Take about 200 of those stickers and plaster your windows with them, inside and out.

SOLUTION SO THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN - PART II Don't drive your truck ever again! :D:D:D I mean, for gosh sakes Heath, I couldn't have done that if I TRIED!!! ;)

Its not my fault that your whimpy ass V-6 can't get up enough speed to knock your antenna down going under that thing... Don't whine to me that you didn't get something with some gumption...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, what a great story....sorry to find humor in this, but damn that's funny. THat picture is great, just the sticker with glass........excellent! All I have to say is, one in a million....:rolleyes:

Rick, this is an excellent front page photo! Not sure if it will increase sticker sales though....:p

Before you get the glass fixed, sell that CB and buy a hand held.:D

LOL

that really sucks. how long will it take to replace it?
i like matt adams' suggestion. for more "safety glass" do all of your windows;)

Sorry to hear about your glass heath. I agree that is a worthy front page pic or ad for the stickers!

Man Heath, that sucks. I'm sorry to see/hear that.

Although, it would make a great ad for the stickers...only makes me want one more now :)

How about herculining the windows as an option :D

I want a big sticker too...can I pay for one??

Actually I've already got a new window and I'm just waiting on the replacement sticker now... As well as the windshield banner one that I ordered for the front... You know just in case I break that one too...

Hey Rick any word on when you'll ship those stickers???

I tell ya what though that will teach a valuble lesson to everyone, what size of sticker is that large or small?

It was a large one...
