I went out to my car yesterday to go home for my brother’s birthday, and my driver’s side mirror was gone. Just gone. The mirror, half the backing. Someone probably just hit it with their mirror while driving by. Thank you.
I didn’t think it’d be that bad to drive without it since one of my friends has been missing hers for a while. I was wrong. It was horrible. It’s hard to merge, hard to parallel park, and I felt like someone was going to sneak attack me from behind.
I stopped at my mechanic’s and he called like 6 different parts places before he even found one who had the part. Apparently it’s too much to ask for people to keep 15 year old parts around. $65 for used, $85 for new. And that’s when he gives it to me at his cost. I think he felt sorry for me because just last week I asked how much new front struts would be ($375), and my exhaust is still loud and annoying ($???).
