So, several months ago my driver's side window in my car broke. Not the glass but the motor that allows the window to go up and down. Well, really, the part that makes it go up. It goes down fine. I've been driving around town for months not being able to have it down cuz it won't go back up again. I have improvised by making the passenger side window go down if I feel the need to have some fresh (?) air. Well, now that I got some money back from the state and federal government, aka tax refund, I have been pondering the idea of getting the window fixed. My personal mechanic (that's right, I have a personal mechanic) says it will cost between $285 and $350 to get it fixed, depending upon if I want authentic Toyota parts.
When I weigh the pros and cons I am torn. The con is that if I want to go through a drive through ( bank, car wash, Starbucks) I have to bring Pretty Girl along and make her sit in the back seat to make the transaction. That's a lot of Starbucks.
So I know what you're thinking: "Who the hell cares?" Well I care cuz I've been having visions of road rage if I get the window fixed. I think that may be a con but I'm not sure. Like today, when I was leaving the Fry's parking lot and making a left out of a lane of parking. This car was whipping through the lot and had to slow down to 40 mph as I was apparently going too slow. I wanted to roll down my window and shake my fist at them and scream "That's right, I made you slow down pal!" I think that's a con cuz people get shot for that but then again, it could be a pro cuz I think that would have made me feel better. Of course, I don't really know cuz I haven't got the window fixed yet.
Truthfully, there have been several instances that I have thought about pointing out other's vehicular mistakes. So maybe I shouldn't get the window fixed. I'm sure Pretty Girl could use a few more Starbucks.

Everyone knows that the best way to express road rage is to get out of the vehicle and then shake your fist, yell, pop the trunk, produce bat, etc. So I think you can have your cake, eat it, get shot, and still save $300.
Boo, that is super sucky - I would get it fixed, but I love my window - this reminds me to find out how to fix my seatbelt - anyone know how to make it go back into the seat and not sit in a lump of excess belt? thanks in advance!
did you google it?
Yes, I googled it, but they directions were not very clear and if someone knows how to do it i could pay them and feel less nervous about breaking something
