Thirty-Three Dollars ? ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ?

Thirty-three dollars. That's the price I paid for keeping some idiot from taking the front-end off my van.

I was driving down the parkway this afternoon when a little silver car came flying up behind me and changed lanes to pass me only to find a car waiting to turn left in front of him/her. They gunned it and swerved back over into my lane barely missing me. I hit my brakes and moved as far to the right as I could without hitting the curb, but I didn't escape unscathed. Trash pick-up was today and there were several garbage cans lining the parkway. I managed to find the only trashcan that wasn't pushed back off the curb with my passenger side mirror. The force of the mirror slamming into my window as it folded in caused the mirror to shatter. I was NOT happy. Especially when I found out that it's going to cost me $33.00 just to replace the glass part of the mirror!

I know. It could have been worse. But thirty-three dollars for a little mirror seems quite ridiculous. Oh. And can someone explain why the passenger side mirror is $10.00 more than the drivers side? Sounds like a money making scheme to me!
