“I have 2005 Gmc yukon xl that I purchased on the year end sale. So I have had it for about 1 1/2 years so far. Shortly after I purchased it while driving on the interstate a stone hit my windshield. I noticed that after a few days and temperature changes a crack started to grow from it. That is pretty typical right? Yes and no. You see this is my fourth new car and sixth all together. In the past I've had stones hit my windshield but no cracks. Have I been lucky or is it something else. …”
