Default Car's gettin repaired :woowoo:

So, a few days ago, some ****ers knocked off the mirror housing on my drivers side mirror. It could have been worse, other cars on my street had the whole damn mirror knocked off, hanging by the wires.

So, I took the car in, and at first estimate, the bill was gonna be $1000!! So I told them I thought it wasnt right, and they took another look at it. Because the motor and wiring is intact, it will only cost $300, which is for parts, labor, painting and other crap.

So I'm tooling around in a 320i, which is a 2.2L 6 cyl. engine'd car. Its suprisingly quick, quicker than a A4 1.8T, and corners really nicely.

No, its the painting and the labor that kills you. The mirror housing was like, 30 bucks or something

He did

I need one, my dad needs one, mom needs one, and then theres the spare they give you, plus that wack plastic key incase your locked out, and the Valet. So, 5 in all

Edit: I found out Im actually driving a 325i. That would explain the good acceleration.
