40 West out of Memphis doesn't need snow or ice to be treacherous, probably the worst stretch of highway I've ever been on besides 69 North before they redid it.
30k on my 22 and I don't have this issue. I use Rain-X in my window washer fluid, not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. I know it sure helps with bug juice cleanup.
I've never hit a deer. I did hit a turkey many years ago. My 6 month old Norton Commando was 1700.00(ish, can't remember)and the hospital bill was around 15k. Price on vehicles and hospitals has risen considerably since 77. Glad you have no need for the hospital.
Texas says we are supposed to run 2 tags but seldom see anyone busted for it. My Lariat showed a front tag bracket was SUPPOSED to come with the vehicle but I never got it.
I keep mine on the "console" behind the phone holder on my Lariat. Barely have to lean forward and it puts it right into my shooting hand. Door pocket would probably be best if I was a southpaw though.
I use Firestone and make them take a picture, with my phone, after done to make sure all the screws are in the cover plate. They only squawked about it the first couple times, now it's more of a running joke with them.
Maybe because we are fleeing our state being invaded. Maybe Ford can get help with vehicle delivery time by setting them up in Eagle Pass. A full tank should get them the 400 miles to Dallas.
I don't know a cost as I have fortunately not had any issues. But my insurance carrier made me go from a 50.00 deductible to a 500.00 deductible for windshield when i bought my Mav. She said windshields will be between 3k and 5k to replace.
