Come to the rents house today to stay, its moms birthday so I took her and dad out to eat, start driving home and the windows in the 90 wont roll up GREAT! Took out the circuit breaker last week, left the cover off, and guess what? I must have hit it getting in the car or something and broke it..theyre giving storms for tonight/tomorrow so I try to pull it into their garage..got all the way up against the wall and the bumper is sticking out 1/2 inch past the door. so now the door is resting on my back bumper and the door is up about 2ft..all i need is 1 inch more

Oh well, not much of a story but I had to vent. Yeah, its a good thing that its in a garage..but now the bumper will probably sag from the weight on it..i put towels between the door and the bumper to keep from scratches etc..
