Default I can see!

I just picked up a Longacre 14" Convex mirror and oh my what a difference! It takes a little getting used to because the curve distorts things a little but wow! Without moving my head I can see the car on my passenger side in the mirror and in my peripheral vision simultaneously. Vibration is nonexistant as well. This thing gets my vote for a worthwhile product for the racers.

Just remember to tighten the ground strap, so it doesn't go black on you in the middle of a race.

Actually mine is running. Yeah, I FIXED mine last night. How is yours running btw?


Cobra - Who knows that Karl doesn't really think about it before he posts sarcastic remarks about OTHER people's cars not running . . .

LOL... Karl just appreciates the company in the non-running cars department.

Well enough for third fastest overall (behind Doug's turbo Miata, now wearing slicks the size of my house, and some sort of Camaro monstrosity) at the time trial today.

Wow. We didn't know you were actually fast, Karl.
He probably used the "drain the brake fluid" trick like he did a VIR last Feb. Saves weight and cuts down that pesky drag from the brake pads.

"Hi, I'm Karl and I'm not a very good driver but it doesn't really matter because my POS car is always busted anyway... Oops... did I just run FTD? Must've been an accident."
