    Rear view mirrors

    Well, this is in miscellaneous because its humorous, technical, and downright annoying.

    I was driving yesturday, and reached up to adjust my rearview mirror a bit. And it falls off. I'm not sure how I managed yet another weirdo mistake/malfunction/whatever in something, but I did. And those things are so annoying to re-glue, especially as somehow losing a rearview mirror that wasnt built into the windshield, put a crack in the windshield when barely touched

    So now on my months list of automotive oddities, I've broken and reglued a rearview window, and slid into a guardrail at 50mph and didnt recieve any damage. Interesting month, there.

    The only oddity is the car itself and the fact that you don't replace it
    Minimising losses can maximise net gains

    What did you try to glue it on with? They make special glue you know.

    i took a drive today
    time to emancipate
    i guess it was the beatings made me wise
    but i'm not about to give thanks, or apologize
    i couldn't breathe, holdin' me down
    hand on my face, pushed to the ground
    enmity gauged, united by fear
    forced to endure what i could not forgive...
    i seem to look away
    wounds in the mirror waved
    it wasn't my surface most defiled
    head at your feet, fool to your crown
    fist on my plate, swallowed it down
    enmity gauged, united by fear
    tried to endure what i could not forgive
    saw things
    saw things
    saw things
    saw things
    clearer
    clearer
    once you, were in my...
    rearview mirror...
    i gather speed from you ****ing with me
    once and for all i'm far away
    i hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...
    saw things so much clearer
    once you, once you...
    rearviewmirror...
    saw things so much clearer
    once you, once you...
    rearviewmirror...

    I couldn't resist.
    Pearl Jam pwnz all.

    Thats what I bought, heheh. Walked in to an Advanced Autoparts store, with my rearview in hand. Clerk came up to me and said "cleaner or glue" "glue....heh"

    Replace it? If I do, it will cost me money to buy it and insure it. If I keep the car my parents give me, it's free car, free gas, free insurance, free maintenance, free everything
