I live in an area where aholes take dads hand me down pickup truck, put a lift kit, and fog lights on it. They spend hundreds of dollars on their trucks and they dont bother adjusting the headlights properly. Meanwhile they never get to really use the suspension on the truck other than driving down Beach Blvd. to hit the railroad tracks.

So I am wondering if anyone has ever tried attaching an auto dimming rear view mirror? I know it can be done no problem. I have seen some mirrors with all sorts of features....hmmmm

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Orange County California, I thought it was just me, and one of the reasons I consider myself temporary here. If it were not for the recession I would still be in Santa Barbara......."Beach Blvd. to the rail road tracks 4x4 moment" ... Humvees to the Mall!.. Monster trucks to the Mini-Mart!... Urban assault SUV to the kids soccer game... A majority of the vehicles are oversized in the O.C. and they all ride your ass; you could do 60 mph on the Blvd. and somone will still want to ride you to the next light. Freeways are worse, If your not pushing 80 mph in a crowd your impeding the flow of traffic.

There is nothing besides flipping the mirror switch really..

Dark Tint your rear window?

Wear your sunglasses at night?


I was in Washington(The Gorge..Forest, Rivers,Snow/Oregon (Portland ... a city with lots of freeways) recently for approx 4 months, you do not see that many Monster Humvee Assualt SUV 4x4's even in the area where you can get snowed in for months at a time... People drive cautious more or less. It is like night and day compared to Orange County..

97% of the people drive like they do not want to get in an accident or cause one.
