Default Is It My Windshield Or Do I Have Brain Tumor?

I have noticed that the view from my driver's seat appears just slightly as if I am staring through a coke bottle; the windshield seems to make things appear a bit distorted...other drivers of my 02 have remarked on this issue as well...what's the deal with the front glass?

Default Park car, open windows, get out...

Look through windshield at an angle from about 10-15 feet and move around a little. Any distortion should stick out like a sore thumb, especially if you're looking at something with straight lines, like a garage door or brick wall. If others are noticing it as well, you're probably not imagining it and there are thick and/or thin spots in your windshield.

Default Distorted windshields are common since the '96 Audi A4....Great Audi Engineering!!

Tell your dealer you get vertigo big time because of it and will kill yourself or someone! Demand a replacement!
