Viper windshield today

I did 6-loads of laundry yesterday.While the clothes were drying I walked across to the CVS Pharmacy to check out the magazine rack.Nothing!
On the way back to laundromat,I stopped at an AAA Done Right Auto Glass shop.I asked about a Dodge Viper windshield.MOPAR OEM was $350(US).Generic was $100 (US).
I ordered one at 2:00 PM today and it was at the store in 2-hours.The $100 included sales tax.I tipped 'em a $20.
At $2,900 cheaper than the Marauder LOLA GTP windshield I've been contemplating I just had to go for it.
Since it's laminated safety glass it will pass muster with Texas State safety inspection,and USFRA tech inspection will also be okay with it,should I try and morph it onto the T-100 or other 'wreck' I have laying around ( you can ask KamperBob about that).
If nothing else,it would make a nice static display for local Eco Fairs and the group from UT Arlington,who orbit through my community each Spring.
Yep,I need a twelve-step program!
