I feel your pain. I had a new-ish car I was taking on its first road trip, about 4000 kms into the middle of Australia and back. Ten kilometres out of Melbourne, and a car coming the other way threw up a small stone which hit the windscreen and caused a six inch crack almost right in the centre of my field of view. I had to put up with that crack for the next 3990 kms and three weeks. Aargh!
