Default Hit and Run again in less than 5 months!!

Man, I hate working were I do sometimes and I am not even in the worst part of the lower mainland for this sorta thing. I came to my car and noticed my mirror a bit off and sure enough!. The passenger side mirror is broken and dangling. The housing is still intact, but you can see the impact it made. The passenger side door is also damaged as well. I hope I can get this sorted before I head to Seattle at the end of the month.

Vieta Import Auto Body is getting my business once again after the long weekend. I just hate having a ghetto setup right now as I have the mirror held in place by painters tape.

I was going to get the LED covers, but I won't, not yet at least. It does suck having to deal with this as the bodyshop I use has no loaners if I want to have it ready before the end of the month when I go on a mini roadtrip. I'll be without a car for a week which is refreshing. LOL.

As for alarms in general, I have never been a fan of them. Even if I did get notified that my car was hit, I couldn't get out to it in time anyways.

Insurance is taking care of this as it was more than just the mirror. The door also needs to be repainted and I might need my passenger side window replaced.
