How bout some pics of the car an mirror so we can see the damage? It might not be so bad, you might be able to stick it back on. But we can't know till you show us.

Somehow, "wreck" and only concerned about a "mirror" just doesn't make me think of anything but a small, hairbrain mistake. Reminds me of when my son came home and told me he "totaled" the back end of his car. I needed a magnifying glass to see the scratch.

That's my gf, fml. She hit a mailbox and it ripped the whole mirror off. The studs are still there but it ripped the actual threads from the mirror out. She needs a whole new mirror, gonna have to get it from ford can't find them anywhere.

Guys, stop raggin on him. It was probably just one of those simple stupid things that young drivers do (I've almost done a few myself) like backing up into a sign or something. That is probably what happened, right, OP? I bet you clipped a pole or something with your mirror. No big deal.

Shoot us some pics so we can "diagnose" the problem.

Sorry, but it sounded like someone trolling, or just a dumb teen that mom and dad bought the car for. I have no sympathy for them.....

Hahahah funny, I was busy when it happened and she sees me on here all the time so she took it upon herself to get on here and look like a ditz. She's got a nice gash on her a-pillar too.



Epic fail.
