AROUND 5:40 AM I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK ON A CLEAR DAY AT 60 MPH I HAD THE A/C ON AND THE FRONT WINDOW CRACKED. WHEN ALL A SUDDEN I HEARD A POP FROM THE SUN ROOF, AND THE SOUND OF GLASS SHATTERING. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED. I LUCKILY HAD THE COVER PULLED CLOSED SO THE GLASS PIECES DIDN'T FALL ON MY HEAD.
