How I Found Love on South Union

"Becky, don't you drive a white Ford Explorer?", Seth asked with concern as I emerged from the church sanctuary on Sunday morning.

"Uh, Yeah. Why?"

"One of your windows is smashed in."

I hurried across the parking lot to see for myself. Sure enough, there was glass all over the ground and in the back seat, and the rear passenger side window was gone. Nothing was missing from the car, although I can't imagine what anyone would want with my fishing tackle, bowling ball, half dozen empty Diet Dr. Pepper cans, a waffle iron, and an old crumpled Thomas Guide.


Theories as to how/why my window was smashed:

• Disgruntled worshipper who didn't like the music
  
• Jealous Ex


• Mischievous squirrels


• Auto glass repair shop trying to create more business


• Mob hit


• Suicidal bird
  
• Hormonal pregnant lady with a pick ax


• Meteor


• Stray bullet


• Aliens
  

Whatever it was, I can rest in the knowledge that, from now on, Seth has volunteered to sit in a lawn chair on the roof of the church with a case of PBR and guard the parking lot with his beloved shotgun, Ol' Bessie. Vandals Beware!!!

Now the problem with living in the ghetto is that I don't have a garage. If I park my car on the street with a missing window, someone WILL break in, especially for empty cans. Fortunately, Jeff's aunt and uncle were kind enough to let me park poor Dora (yes, my car has a name) in their garage overnight.

The next day I began the grueling process of trying to find a cheap window replacement for my thirteen-year-old car. The lowest quote I could find was $459.00 and they couldn't install it until Friday! Cardboard and duct tape were starting to look better and better.

I decided to get one last quote from Lowest Price Auto Glass, a locally-owned hole-in-the-wall (literally) on the shady side of town.

The owner's name is Jimmy, and he is my hero! He did the job that day with a salvaged window for $110 and saved me $350 (that's a lot of shoes!). The service was friendly, professional, and FAST. Part of me wants to grab my tire iron and go nuts just so I'll have a reason to go back. If you EVER need ANY glass work done on your vehicle, go see Jimmy. Tell him the white girl sent you.
