The blame is on me and me alone. I drive through a construction zone every single day. Near exit 20 on the 405 (Kirkland area) they are adding a dedicated carpool lane exit (joy another dreadful exit/merge point for traffic to choke on but thats a different rant post) along this stretch of intrastate freeway. Today coming back going south bound I got sprayed with dust / small pieces of glass (it would seem like). I could just hear it spray across the windshield. Only for a moment but you could hear it loud and clear.

The end result… two small chips and I mean small (the size of say 2-3 grains of sand) chips punctured into my windshield and something similiar to that effect on my hood. The windshield I can deal with, if I ever sell the car I’ll just have it repaired (and they are so small that it could be seen as specs of dust, its only annoying because its right on the driver’s side where one would look.) but the hood… ugh! Again small and hardly noticeable but its definitely got me looking into the paint protection services for one’s hood, especially seeing how sensitive Scion paint is to the environment.
