First world observations.
 
1 It's great to have a nice car. A car with all sorts of features that make things nice, one touch up/down windows, automatic wipers, self dimming mirrors, etc...

2 It's irritating to come out to your car on a hot afternoon and find your rear view mirror in your floor board

3 It's first world really farking infuriating to come out and find your fancy self dimming mirror hanging by the wires from the top of the windshield bouncing around with every bump, turn and twitch of the car as you drive the 30 miles home.

Oh indeed.

Better send an email and have that lazy bastard in Bangladesh beaten for doing such a piss poor job of the mirror.

Are we calling Houston "first world" now ;)?

No kidding! Isn’t that where the police shoot first and ask questions later?

Jim Richards 04-20-2019 06:27 PM

They ask questions?

Just put away the Chrysler 300 and started taking the Porsche to work. It’s still below freezing in the mornings here. I really noticed the lack of bun warmers, remote start, heated steering wheel and outside temp readings.
Until I came home at 5000rpm thru the twisty corners. Heated what now..?

Well it IS dimmed right? i don't see the problem

Easy fix. 2 part mirror glue is stocked in most gas stations.

This annoys me and no manufacturer is immune to this... Why can't we make a plastic headlight that doesn't go foggy?

I don't think that's going to work in this situation.

Clearly, they'd make less money if they made something to last.

Take bug spray like "Off" to those lenses with newspaper, you'll be amazed, also wash your hands when you're done, it is bug spray you know.

If I had been drinking coffee, you'd owe me a keyboard.

We're kinda like Florida except with oil and gas and without the nice beaches.
