And why does lj insist on taking words I'm typing into the subject box and moving them to the text box? I have been struggling with this for ages.
I was on my way to my class tonight when my driver's-side rearview mirror exploded. At first I thought I had been shot at or something had been thrown at me, but when I pulled over to look at it I didn't see any sign of impact.
The whole thing is there, just hanging by the cables that are supposed to adjust it but don't anymore. The plastic housing is cracked and has a chunk out of it, but there's no impact pattern.
What I think, now, is that the cables came unsprung suddenly and the force from that cracked the housing.
I also think my car is just about to cost me more money and will be hooptier than ever while I drive around with the old mirror duct-taped in position until I locate a new mirror and figure out how to put it on.
This is a head thing post because I have to engage with the damned thing.
