Default Vandals!

So, I'm woke up this morning by my dad at 7:30, after playing 360 until 4:30, to find out some ******* threw a beer bottle through my back window. Actually, it looks like they punched out a small hole in the rear window of my EJ, and then stuck the bottle into the window. I'd post photos but my digital camera is busted.

Now, I'm wondering if I should just take it to an Auto Glass place where I'll pay $155 installed. Or, if there's a possibility of getting a used one for cheap, however I'll hafta glue it in which isn't my field of expertise. Just need to vent, and if anybody lives around Greensburg, PA let me know, cuz someone is going to pay, and the police won't be involved.

155 installed is good. to get used glass, sometines you break them on the way out. and some places will not install used glass. 155 isnt bad at all. id do it and wouldnt think twice.

$155 isn't bad at all. I paid either 100 or 200 for a guy to buy and install used glass in the rear.

pay the 150. Getting used glass out is not easy. Getting the glass in and sealing it is also more of an art than a technique.

They're called pros for a reason.

I agree with the new glass.

The glass I recieved went in fine, but I've noticed a few hair-line cracks by my brake light (coupe). Just a matter of time before this ****** breaks out (original literally just broke one day. Just fell apart.)

LOL. The funniest part was that there was only about a 4" diameter hole in it, so I thought maybe it would hold, so I could go down the road. I get in my car, close the door...crsssssssssshhhh...the whole ******* thing caves in! Now I'm going to catch the bitches that thought they'd be cute and press charges when I do...if they're lucky.

That's kinda what happened to me.

I went outside one night to get my smokes out of my car. I closed the door and heard a crumble/cracking noise. I was like "WTF?" I opened the door and looked around the car. The rear window looked like it had rain on it (it had just rained. Duh!) So I close the door again and I hear glass drop.

I look at the window and there's a hole the size of a cantaloupe.
