Damn Hooligans
On Christmas-eve-eve, somebody decided to attempt to steal my car (or maybe my insanely fashionable sunglasses from Kohl’s out of my car). So anyways, I got to wake up to my driver-side window being smashed. Keep in mind this car is only six months old so I was pretty unhappy with having to drop a bunch of cash to have a new window put in it. Luckily the Saturn dealership was open that day and did a great job of detailing my interior to rid my car of all evidence of the disaster. However, I had to go an entire week without a car. Things are back to normal now but here are some photos commemorating the incident.

Once during college when I lived on campus as an RA, I discovered that my passenger side window had been smashed. The creep that did it had ripped my stereo out, but failed to get it out without busting it anyway.
It was an old Ventura, and I found a salavage yard that let me have the glass for $25. The glass company offered to install it for $50. Okay, not serious money these days I guess, but it still kind of irked me 16 years ago.
I took the glass back home and decided to install it myself, never having done that before. It was freezing and snowy outside, but it took me only 5 minutes to remove the car door entirely. With my passenger door and glass by my nice cozy fire it took me about fifteen minutes to install the new glass :D
The moral of the story is, glass installers are apparently worth $200 an hour, or possibly more, seeing as how I could have done it faster next time.
