Well my son just came back from Afghanistan with a Marine advisory squad. I live about six and a half hours away. So my wife and I decided to make the trip to greet him at his homecoming at Camp lejeune. First the not so good. Not more than a few miles up the Interstate my poor CX-5 takes a punch on the right passenger side with a road alligator. It scuffs my hood, windshield, rips off the passenger side mirror, dents the front passenger door, rear passenger door and dings the rear passenger quarter panel.(pissed) Now for the not so bad. Despite the five years it took off of my wife and I's life to be hit by a meteor out of the clear blue sky, no one was hurt. The vehicle preformed spectacularly. Which leads me to this. Not only did we get great gas millage, but had no problems with merging or keeping with Interstate traffic or passing on secondary roads when necessary. I also was able to continue on to see my son arrive. The one thing I will tell you. Should you lose a side mirror for whatever reason the BSM won't work. BTW $1400.00 damage. At least I have good insurance and lower deductible.
