Getting rock chips repaired


With a 9 1/2 hour drive home tomorrow, I decided to get a couple of rock chips I sustained yesterday in the Sonoran Desert repaired.  Safelite sent a friendly car nut to repair them within an hour.  He said he has seen only one other Phaeton in Vegas-- a 110,000+ mile example that's been treated roughly by its owner.

Repair cost: $155.23 (the Safelite guy said a new windshield costs around $1,300).
Less: $50 reimbursement for being a AAA Premier Member.
Less: $178 I won at Red Rock Casino's slot machines.
Equals: Not a bad day.

Incidentally, I saw Pawn Stars' star Rick Harrison at the casino.  He was much smaller in real life.

Oh, and Alan, the interior color is "anthracite".

Very nice color. Bring it down to C%C sometime. Only seen one Phaeton there before and it got a lot of love.
