My mechanic skills....

It rained most of last night and this morning.  I couldn't take POS out until I got the window back up.  So, this morning, I went and got the crappy screwdriver from Molly and was out in my skirt trying to unscrew the door panel.  I got it off...finally... (it wouldn't be as bad if I had decent tools...).  Anyway, I propped the window back up with the block of wood, but I couldn't get the door panel back on.  It just wouldn't line up right.  Whatever.... I'll deal with it later....

I drove Molly up near her building and the window starts to fall again...rrrggh.  And she can't get out.  Apparently with no door panel, it's like child lock!!! Anyway, I go around and let her out and go to fix the window again.  Yeah, this is a two person job.  So there we are on the main street in campus, with the engine running and I get her to hold up the window while I jam the block of wood further back to hold it in place.  So far so good....

So, I ordered the part(s) to fix the window.  2 weeks pay for just the parts alone.  Lovely..... BUT, at least Boroko Motors was able to order the parts!  Glass half full, glass half full, glass half full...
