What owners wrote

We live in houston, texas area. One recent weekend, my wife and I were in my 2005 honda accord driving on an unoccupied road (light weekend traffic and no one within 1000 yards). My wife and I heard a huge explosion. We were in motion at the time and had no idea what happened to the car, but we knew it was powerful. Immediately following the explosion, we heard a rush of air and when opening the sunroof cover (moved backwards), we were rained with broken glass particles (anywhere from 1mm to 1inch).
