Need help asap between ca and co
Hey guys,
some of you may remember my purple truck I was buying. Well I was bringing it back up the baja this weekend and on one of the narrow sections of road, a truck tapped my mirror with something. Shattered the back piece of plastic and all of the glass. I know a lot of people upgrade mirrors to the new sd style and I was wondering if I could buy parts of someone's stock driver side mirror. I have cash and would like to get it fixed before tacklinch my next 1200 miles tomorrow.
I am inbetween San Diego and LA now. I am planning on getting a room near lax tonight and leaving early in the morning. Like 4. I was wondering if anyone near lax, has a mirror, is online now, and wants to sell it.
If not is anyone in Vegas, Utah, arizona, new Mexico, or Colorado available tomorrow with a mirror? I am planning on going down 40 through Utah, but can go the southern way. Let me know if anyone can help. I'll throw up some pics when I am on my computer.
Excuse any typos. On my iPhone.

You mean to tell me the Iphone doesn't have spell check?
I'm guessing you're chances of finding a mirror tonight with such short notice is going to be slim, but I'll bump you back to the top just in case.
Don't forget to try posting in the regional forum also to spread the word a little more.

. Well right now I was able to find two of those convex blind spot mirrors to attach to the part that's still there. So I can make it back to my house tomorrow I am just looking for the off chance someone in la had em. Those little blind spot mirrors don't provide a lot of depth perception.
If I don't get them tonight I would love to take you up on that. We could do a slower shipping too. How much do you want for them? I really Appreciate it!

I hope this was a typo
I-40 WILL NOT take you through Utah,you need to take I-15 north out of L.A. towards Vegas and then you will be heading in the right direction.Hope it all works out for you.

Yea that was definitely a mistake caused by being tired... thanks!
Unfortunately I am back in Colorado already but I really appreciate the offer.
Here are some pics
Right after the hit (estimated combined speed: 140 mph)
Here is our fix... It worked fairly well although I would have preferred to have a real mirror across the last 1500 miles...
