I think mine averaged out to $100/window.

That hockey water usage graph was hilarious! I love the little bump after the win where most people were celebrating but a few who had been holding it all game rushed off to the bathroom before the medal ceremony.
 
In today`s news about stuff Most People probably already know how to do but I`m proud of myself about: I changed our van`s headlight today. We got pulled over last rehearsal and given a repair order. (we were lucky; turns out the SO has a vision restriction on his license and wasn`t wearing his glasses, a $600 arrestable offense, but they let that slide.) Anyway, I did it, yay, so now we can get the thing signed off on.

Congratulations on the headlight changing. That's one of those things that goes all the way from trivial to downright challenging depending on the vehicle.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Changing the headlights on the current truck just requires snapping in a new bulb. On the previous version, changing headlights required removing the grill, which was held on by plastic snap things invented by the devil. Each time I changed a headlight, I lost at least one of the damn things.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I could change the headlights on my Accord. Try as I might, I never managed it with the Jetta. Damned annoying. I have given up.

I've considered changing the headlights on my beetle but I've heard so many horror stories that I haven't gotten up the nerve yet.

I also need to change a break light. I'll apparently need a butter knife for that.

The comments have a lot of "True hockey fans can hold it for three periods."

I changed a headlight once. At the time my friend and I didn't know that one headlight was angled in, so we adjusted straight on.

I've changed headlights on an Oldsmobile 88, a Dodge Omni, a Subaru GL, a Ford Mustang, a Ford Escort, a Ford Taurus, a Ford Tempo, a Ford Windstar, a GMC S-10, a Nissan Quest, a Saturn SL, and a Honda Civic. Not all of those were my cars though.

I've only changed a headlight on my '72 Mercury Monterey. I called the Ford/Mercury dealership in my parents home town (I was at my parents at the time) to ask how to do it. It was somewhat tricky, as there were tight springs involved.
