Today, we'll have the windshield replaced on our minivan. There was a crack across the bottom, and my oldest takes her driver's exam on Friday. We called around to six places, and the first five were near $300. Having only liability insurance in place for this vehicle, I was amazed at how much this was going to cost us. I'm glad I kept on calling, because the last estimate came in at $235, with a guarantee. Still a lot, but better at least.
I also hung out another load of laundry this morning. It's a bit breezy, though cloudy. I haven't heard any mention of rain...but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can take it down when I stop at home for lunch.
Better head off to work...take care!

It cost me $500 to replace mine last year because - well - I don't remember why - but there was something unique about my windshield. The car wasn't even worth that much. But whatchya gonna do?

I discovered that if I started my converstaion by stating that I had no comprehensive insurance, when calling about windshiled replacements, some places gave a lower estimate. I think that some places like getting cash instead of dealing with insurance companies.
