Default Great way to start my morning...................not

To make a simple story short, I was zoned out on my way to work on the interstate and saw something fly out from the car in front of me out of the corner of me eye. I was much less zoned out when I heard BAMMMM!

Some decent sized piece of road debris took out my pass side mirror. ****. My luck would have it that I just bought a set of Bomex aero mirrors. Well, I was planning on getting them painted in the next few weeks, but it looks like that scedule will get bumped to ASAP so I can get them installed.

Cool Bomex mirrors...




My busted *** mirror...

So long as you didn't wake up realizing you're Braineack, I think you'll be okay.

What are the odds!

Atleast it didn't hit the windshield or scuff your beautiful paint.

Sucks, but lucky as hell that it hit a part you were about to replace!

I feel your pain.. last Sat a similar thing happened to me on the way back from our local groups corner weight tech day... took an errant muffler in the passenger front wheel and door.

The only upside is since the wheel is dicked the ins. co. may be paying for the 6UL's I got from Sav...
