I decided to post some pictures of my rearview mirror issues.

1. to give you a good idea about the way it broke, the first picture is of the beginning stages of my car’s mirror’s rapid decline. between this pic and the next, the whole thing just fell off and hung. when I drove on the highway, it was swinging and scratching the car door.
2. the second picture is the happy resolution to this chapter of the dilapidating car saga… I saved myself $250 by using packing tape (duct tape’s comparatively invisible cousin) to reattach the mirror. you mechanics got NOTHIN’ on me!
