Mirrorless
Adjust seat to upright position and proper distance from steering wheel. Check.
Hook seat belt. Check.
Adjust rear view mirror. Check.
Adjust driver side mirror. Check.
Adjust passenger side mirror. WTF? There is none!
Ok, who did I piss off this time…
So began my morning. I got out and looked around, expecting to find the shattered remains of my mirror on the ground, but I found nothing. There was absolutely no evidence that anything had happened, except of course that my mirror was missing. It wasn’t broken off but appears to have been removed with care.
I have two theories as to why my mirror was stolen.
1. Someone needed a replacement passenger-side mirror for their truck which had been shot out during a recent drug deal gone bad.
2. A college kid thought a mirror that said “objects in mirror may be closer than they appear� hanging in their dorm would be cool.
All I know is I’m mirrorless and fairly annoyed that I have to go through the hassle of taking my truck to the shop to get a new mirror installed. On the bright side, at least now I’ll get that oil change I’ve been putting off. Always gotta look for that silver lining!
I’m still annoyed though.

Chevy truck?? They are known to have mirrors fall out. Maybe it fell out and you didn’t notice. At any rate, I happen to have one…no just kidding.

It’s amazing, you never realize how much you use that mirror until you don’t have it. I had to drive a friend’s car a couple of years ago that didn’t even have a mount for a mirror on the passenger side. I was gripping every time I had to change lanes to the right. The rearview can only show you so much on the passenger side.
