Default Story Time!!

So anyways, about a week ago I went to visit my sister up by Macon. Later that day my sister, my 5 year old nephew, and I were outside. My little nephew was riding his bike around and trying to look cool I guess. I was having a conversation with my sis when all of the sudden I hear this big THUWNK sound! I turned around to see my nephew on the ground crying and his bike right next to my SS.
The funny part is, he was lying right next to my passenger side mirror that was on the ground also. I'm telling you guys what, I became instantly pissed. I really wanted to pick up the broken *** mirror assembly and just start beating him with it while I yelled "I'll give you something to cry about" in his face.
So now I am looking all white trash driving around with the power mirror adjustment assembly dangling by a thin little cable. This sucks.
Anybody know what most shops would charge for a new mirror assembly and paint match??
Sorry about the rant, i actually do not condone the beating of little kids. Boy was I livid though. Thanks in advance. I hope this story didn't put any of you to sleep.

Just glue it back on with crazy glue!
That's what the previous owner did on my passenger mirror. Should be loads of fun to fix that.
