Ran over a brand new side mirror I was getting ready to install one time.  You aren't alone.

  Subject: costly mistake

  Had a nice mishap this today while trouble shooting my break light problem.  Had the rear lens assembly out and had to move my van and,you guessed it, ran over the damn thing!! Arrgh #$@$^**!! Not my proudest moment.  Call Cal imports, replacement cost if you can believe it-$171 , found a nice one at wreckers for $40. Whew..  installed it before the wife got home and made no mention to her of my Homeresque blunder.  Moral of the story for all us shade tree mechanics- Mistakes are costly so take your time.
