View Full Version : So, here I am...
So, here I am driving down the street at about 40 mph. I hit a speed bump... and my drivers side mirror falls off... WTH?! HAHAHAHAHAHA....
Just gotta get the wifes car paid off, and then we can trade this one in. Get's good mpg though for my commute every day.
Thought I'd share.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen mirrors held on with duct tape!! Don't worry about it, no one uses their mirrors around here anyway! [Coffee]

So you want to get rid of it and get back in debt over a $20 mirror?

I'm guessing there's a little more to it than that.

$20?.... not what I was quoted. $4 for a 10 pack of duct tape sounds good though! HA. I'm still not "out" of debt, so I wouldn't be going "back into" it... but no, the mirror is just cosmestic, and there are some other mechanical problems that a 230K mile car just develops. I've already gotten rid of the real death machine, so we are fine. I just thought it was a "cool story brah" moment. Guess I won't be posting 'em...

BigBear...hang in there, brother. Something good will happen for you soon. I enjoyed your story...mostly because I've had many times where I can relate.

Keep 'em coming, Bear! Like Bailey said, things will get better. And I like your stories too. Heck, I have erosion tape holding my (plastic) headlight lenses together. It's basically the same stuff as the clear-bra stuff they use on the front of new cars. Works like a champ!

I'm going out NOW to stock up on duct tape before the panic buying starts....
You'll see only empty shelves from now on.
I'm estimating $55 a roll in mere weeks.
I like to hear stories about other people's crappy vehicles. Makes me feel good about my 20 year old truck.
