Default Damn Touchless Carwash!

I make the time to handwash my S but I tend to cut some corners with my daily driver ('lude). So last night, I brought her to a touchless car wash that I've always gone to. All was uneventful until I started inching her through the 60-second dryer/blower.

As the dryer/blower blew past the hood and onto my windshield, my driver's side mirror flew off! Just FLEW off! What the hell?! Replacing the mirror is flat out inconvenient and annoying. I swear, this is the car's way of getting back at me for not giving it a proper handwash.
