freaking out

new mirror installed

my eyes still havent gotten used to the motion on the left side of my vehicle, after replacing my mirror last night. it's so odd, after months of not having a mirror on that side, to see something moving.

last year(?), my mirror was broken in a drive-by baseball-batting. it's urban mailbox bashing for the teens of today.

i've been waiting quite a long time to get this fixed. i didnt want to spend > $100 just for the part, just to have it probably be broken again.

so, based on my friend felix's advice, i checked ebay. there, i found one for $35 + 25 shipping. The lowest I'd ever found the part elsewhere was $120.

so, for half the cost and 5 minutes of work, i finally have a new driver's side mirror.
