<VV> RE: Re: mirror adjustment very little Corvair

[goofyroo@excite.com]

If your mirror is big enough to handle it (Corvairs tend to be too small IMO), a stick-on, convex spot mirror on the inside bottom corner works wonders for eliminating (illuminating?) the blind spot.  Takes a little practice, but it's easier and safer than turning your head for every lane change.

<snip>I have to side with your wife on this one. All my rear view mirrors, inwhatever I drive, are adjusted so that part of the vehicle I am in shows inthe mirror. I need to know where the traffic in my mirror is in relationshipto the vehicle I am driving. Maybe it's just me, but I feel a little moreconfident in my decision making when the mirrors are adjusted that way.<snip>
