backing out of street parking slot at the courthouse into heavy one-way traffic circle, managed to hit the chief judge's truck, parked next to me, with my right front while looking over my left shoulder at the semis in the traffic pattern. Destroyed the parking lamp/turn signal assembly--cover, reflector, and all. Anybody got one handy right now from a car you're stripping? If not, would appreciate suggestions re:
1. non-dealer source of OEM-quality replacement parts, and/or
2. hard data on which other models of 850, S70, or V70 have the same assembly, and
3. Suggestions on what type of cleaner bag / ziplock /ducquetape repairs to keep the rain out of the electrics while I wait for parts shipment, without looking too much like white trash custom work. Ribaldry and humor at my expense will, of course, be expected.

Judge was nice about it. Only result I could see on his truck was a fancy curl of plastic on the edge of his chromed tailpipe extension. Coulda been worse--I could have been concentrating on clearing his tail, and been creamed by one of the passing heavy trucks. Courthouse sits in middle of town square where two highways cross, with one-way traffic circle. Lot of Interstate traffic coming through as result of drivers avoiding the construction hazard mentioned in today's other post.
