You won't believe what happened to me today.
I was on my way to work (a road i have driven a million times) and i come down around a slight curve and there was a mailbox that was too close to the road....well wouldn't ya know it, i hit it. Smacked it with my side view mirror. The mirror bent in towards the car and smashed out my passenger side window. The window is completely gone! Mirror is ok though, lol, it just went back in place, only thing is the mirror on it is broke, so i cant see in it. Actually the mirror flew in towards the car hard enough to scratch the paint on my door too. I never seen it coming. I was just going down the road and then all the sudden....SMASH! I was like WHAT THE HECK! (not those exact words though, lol). I had no idea what happened or what I hit at first. I didn't even go off the road or anything, so I couldn't imagine what I had hit. I looked back and seen the mailbox so I knew that had to be it. I dented the mailbox some, but otherwise I think its ok. The glass from my window flew completely across the car. I have glass in the back seat, back floor, my floor, my seat, etc. I just couldn't believe that it had happened. I was just thinking "that did not just happen, oh my gosh!" I was finally getting around to having the money to put a new front bumper on my car (half it is missing from a small accident 2 winters ago) and now I have to get a new window and mirror. I just can't win. I also need new front brake, again. I replace those every few months. The left front is sometimes still ok, but the right front wears the brakes down really fast....the mechanic can't figure out why either. I am so ready to wrap that car around a tree and get a new one, lol.
