Default Did I mention I am an idiot?

replaced both broken side mirrors & a busted taillight yesterday & while replacing the door panels I was testing the little locking **** (or whatever it is) to make sure I had them aligned. When I did, I got a little too cocky & lost my focus. Shut the damn door before checking if it was locked. Anyways, to make matters worse I decided to try the old wire hanger method instead of making a $75 service call to a tow truck. Yep, I busted the window. Anyways, you fellas have any general idea what this "hard lesson learned" is going to cost me?

Stats: 1995 Blazer LS two-door. I broke the passenger side. Dammit!

Yeah, thanks. Haha. That will be my first mission, once I get the window fixed.

don't need a spare key if you don't fix the window.

My dad always got me in the habit of rolling down at least one window while working on a car, just so you don't do something like this.

As for the window, it couldn't cost much at a junk yard! Time to get busy.

Your Dad sounds like a smart man! I, on the other hand, do not. Haha

Cost me $160. Not too bad, but a lot more than a spare key or a tow guy
