Face, meet palm. by Tyler Linner, on Flickr

Mirror was in the box top drying. It was under my car to prevent dust settling onto it, and keep the smell out of my apartment.

But when I threw the bike in the car for a mad dash to the Detroit Critical Mass ride, I forgot all about the mirror and smunched it on the way out. There are a few options:

1. glue it back together, bondo and repaint
2. put it together as is
3. get a replacement cheater panel
4. Mount a different mirror there.

Oh, and my window track is officially ****ED. Tried to roll up the window on the way home and it got way off track, sitting about 3cm out from the door frame, flapping in the 40mph wind. Will not move. AHGGHGGHHHHHH

On top of that, I decided to wait a bit to get a new car, so a junkyard trip maybe in order next weekend when I have some money.

The car is so fun to drive but everything around it is such a heap of sh*t.
