Car Wash
Hey guys.
Today I decided to wash my car. So I went to my closest tunnel-car-wash. I was about 3/4 of the way in the tunnel, when guess what. My rear-view passenger side mirror broke off. As the car continued its way through the tunnel, the mirror was going around like a helicopter'* blades. This caused some scratches on the passenger door. Luckily nothing done to the windows.
So I spoke with the manager and he said: "Just glue it back. We won't pay for it."
Anyway, so I went back home.
After super-gluing six of my fingers, here is what I came up with:.....
Well, luckily the super-glue is holding on tight. I hope that it will continue to hold like that.
So far, nothing is wrong. The mirror functions perfectly. But the looks of my car have been downgraded.

I'm assuming the one you went thru was not touchless?
(it'* kinda odd... up here 9/10 car washs are touchless... but I heard that'* an uncommonly high amount)
