Hi,my car was vandalized and my passenger front window no longer exists. A shop quoted me 220, but I feel that if i get the window myself, it will be cheaper if i can figure out how to install it. Also, are 2g eclipse and talon glass identical? i'm looking at ordering glass but it's off an...

My friend borrowed my car and thought he was doing a nice deed by filling my tank up... bad thing is that he put in 87 octane rather than 91. I don't know how bad this is for my car and i'm kind of pissed . Should i just ride it out? Thanks
