Well that’s annoying.
I guess it’s too be expected living in a city that calamity will befall your car but man is it sad to see it. I noticed it in the distance, wait? where’s my mirror?! Also without a side mirror it’s pretty damn hard getting out of a street parking. At least the FiST has pretty wide mirrors to the car is unscathed, a new mirror and I’ll be good to go.
Oh well, that’s life right? Insurance already processed the claim and I’ll get it repaired tomorrow but 100$ out of my pocket. And considering I picked up the pieces relatively intact, it seems to follow that I was only a few minutes (maybe a half hour?) away from it happening. Damn trying to stay a bit late on a Friday and finish the work!
My only hope is the other guy got it worse than me, that’s the least I can hope for someone who doesn’t leave a note :(

Same thing happened to my wife’s Sable outside an elementary school. Witnesses saw a “large” lady in a Windstar clip the mirror, then “sped off.”

Mine is already littered with dents, the ST Curse is real. Though mine is because Ford cheaps the fuck out on sheet metal.

It’s so annoying isn’t it? I’m not a fool, I know someone who love taps you while parallel parking isn’t gonna stick around and confab but meaningful scratches or damage to a car and you don’t have the decency to leave a note?
I’m just glad I ponied up at purchase for 100$ deductibles, also it was worth the 2$ a month premium increase over 500$ as I’m now seeing.

I haven’t had any sheet metal dents (i remember you mentioned acorns and what not) and the paint is fairly swirl free with hand washes. But we had a hail storm the other week here and I kid you not you came to mind! haha but I checked after and I was all good :)

Nope! Ford said the entire assembly was 1200 bucks as well, which is astounding that 5% of the vehicle cost is a single side mirror :\
But that’s why we have insurance!

Haha I’ve been dabbling between used Audis and interesting American Makes (but the FiST is so good I don’t plan on buying another car for at least a decade unless I need the space) and I’m pretty astounded by just how much parts cost. My last biturbo A6 (c5) ran me 5k$ and when I replaced some bushings the bill was almost 600 bucks!
