I didn't say I never saw one...:)  Worst I ever saw was an AMC type of 
vehicle that the wheel exploded and the dash board (all metal) was taking up 
3/4 of the windshield space.  Same with a 55 Chevy.  There weren't very many 
scatter shields made for AMC's so I guess you might say that guy had an 
excuse.  But the guy in the Chevy didn't have any excuses.
... I need some duck tape, my duck has a qwak in it!
