Haha! Your head out the window story reminded me.
Three years ago, maybe, we were coming home from work one morning in that Dodge I had. It had been snowing all night, but I didn't think it was that bad. I was rolling along about 70 when I saw one of those 1 ton service trucks up ahead. I started to get into the passing lane about 200 yards before I got to him so i could evaluate the conditions in that lane. It was good to go so I kept rolling.
When I got closer, I could see it was an out of state contractor for working on power lines. Anyway, about the time I got beside him he decided to start drifting into my lane. I guess the tracks in the snow veered that way and he was trying to stay in them. I don't know, but I was IN my lane and had nowhere to go cause of the bank on the side of the road.
I knew it was gonna be close.......WHACK! We smacked mirrors when I went by. It popped the glass out of mine, but it didn't break. It did break the plastic housing up, but I later taped over the holes with black duct tape and ran it for a year.
Couple days after, I went up my old man's street, and where it comes out on rt.201, there's a little motel. Sure enough! There sat an F350 with no drivers side mirror except for the mount at the door.
I guess mine folded back a lot easier than his folded forward.
