I miss my spot mirror on my hood. When I stopped at beaver dam the other day as I was coming out I looked for it out of habit. Without it you can't see to your right because of the angle you are parked. I always had my spot mirror adjusted for down the blindside and at an angle for those angled parking spots at rest areas.

You'd be lucky if any gauges worked in those old dogs....

Best of luck MM. I'm only afew weeks away from putting my new ride on the road so I know how scary it can be. If your ever near Waycross, GA and need anything give me a shout. Be happy to help in any way I can. Don't have money but have plenty of tools and I'm not afraid to use them. LOL

That reasoning sounds parallel to Brickman's idea of installing rookie poles on his truck so that he could have two extra lights.
