That's a big "nope" on both counts, there.

Thick glass still gets sand-blasted and pitted. The only ways I know to avoid it are to either put plastic "tear-offs" over the outside of the windshield, or not to drive the car. Or to get lucky.

VTEC is a great way to make decent power and/or decent economy out of little four-banger engines. You get to pick your cam profile for your current driving conditions, and switch on the fly. You can optimize for several different RPM ranges, or for different things under different conditions. It works quite well, generally...
