Last fall, during a hellacious wind storm, my little car was struck by a flying turn lane sign that had been ripped from its post. It completely destroyed the passenger side mirror.
The body shop quoted $1,200.00 to replace it. I wasn't willing to spend that much for 2003 car with 150,000 miles on it so I went on Ebay and found a used one for $140.00. I don't drive this car during the winter (my 4-wheel drive truck is much safer) so it sat in this condition for three months.
Last Saturday was really nice so I pulled the car out of the garage and replaced the mirror.
It looks all sexy again.
