The heat wave took another victim today. I guess it's been so hot that the glue finally gave out on my car's passenger side mirror. The whole assembly will cost about $80 (which I doubt includes installation), or for about $42 I can get a new piece of glass installed (the whole assembly is in good shape - just the glass mirror fell out).
The only option I can afford at this point is to go old school and actually look over my shoulder before changing lanes. Probably a good skill to brush up on anyway. By example, I'll be showing my kids a safe way to drive. Not sure if it's still taught in driver's ed any more. But I'm old enough to remember when most cars didn't have side mirrors, and we were taught to use the one mounted inside the car, then look over our shoulders to check the blind spots.
I'm looking forward to this new challenge, although I'll also be saving up to get the thing fixed.
