Angry BAD weekend for mirrors!

Well, my girl has been violated. 19 months in pristine condition, not a scratch, ding or nick. Then yesterday in the span of 3 fookin hours, BOTH my side views got scraped.
Scrape number one - passenger side. Took a ride to my parents place in the Poconos. Took the scenic route, back twistie roads. There's a bridge that goes over the Delaware River - Dingmans Ferry Bridge. Anyway, it's a narrow b*itch. Wood planked surface, you can hear the click, click, click as you drive over. It's posted 10mph. One lane each way, if two cars are next to each other there are INCHES to spare...

So anyway, someone coming the other way couldn't seem to keep their little shit Toyota in one lane. I moved to the right and SCRAPE. OK, no biggie. I'm not going to freak.

Not three hours later, laying by the pond. My mother comes down in the gator (kind of an ATV with a longer wheel base and bed in the rear for cargo) to deliver a lounge chair to my cousin. Mom doesn't drive....The lounge chair is hanging off the rear of the gator and wacks driver side mirror.

Arrghhh! Well, at least they are break away mirrors and didn't break off.

No I didn't take pics. The rail on the bridge was a painted wood fence, almost like a horse fence. Straight scrapes, I got alot of the paint off. Doesn't look too deep. The drivers mirror has swirly scrapes, look much deeper. After she hit it she kept going Can't get mad at mom.

Thanks guys, no big deal, just had to vent. You know how it is. You take pride in your ride, park over the river and through the hills and some stupid sh*t has to happen.
