You guys are slayin me!
hehe:
On a slightly more serious note, I lost a drivers side mirror on my last truck when I forgot to fold down my mirrors.
Thankfully, the guy coming at me was over in my lane on a curve and it was his fault. I had to turn around and chase the MFer down cause he bolted. Caught him and (with a little friendly persuasion) got his license, reg and a credit card number Cost the guy $1500 to replace my heated electric mirror.
I get it that you can see better with them up, but what a pain in the derrière to lose the mirror when it happens. And if you are at highway speeds and both trucks have moose ears, it could cause a lot more damage.
I keep mine down when not in use towing. I keep as small a foot print as possible. Shiet Happens when you least expect it!
