Talking Re-Mention for the Auto Tilt Mirror People

This comes up occasionally as a really want for the next redesign. From BMW, you know it'll be a $250, over-engineered option with a 98% chance of failure. Heck, even the power fold mirrors are starting to act up. The Scot in me prefers a simple $2 failsafe unit to supplement the back 'em up beeps. Give one a try.

Sealy - Who's always preferred cheap and easy.


P.S. - I know Zaftig is nasty. I washed him Sunday and I'm fighting a pin oak that sweats sap like a overweight hooker.

Oh, I'll definitely be getting that when my car arrives. I don't want to risk any curb rash on my white wheels!

Just for laughs I think I'll get curb finders like you used to see on cars in the fiftys...the springs that stick out the sides...wonder if JC Whitney still sells them...actually I wonder if JC Whitney is still in business :-) Guess I just gave away my age bracket :-)

Pep Boys, in a two pack. Just make sure you get the adjustable ones.

Picked them up at Pep Boys today for $2.99, now all I need is the car to put them on! Not sure if I'll put one on the drivers side, but definitely on the passenger side.
