    Another tip is if you have a power mirror on the passenger side you can adjust it out and see the trailer......I have done that in a couple very tight blind side spots...

    Well i was trying to give someone a useful hint but since all don't need i can keep all to myself. #### i can blindside just as good as anyone. But i guess like all others with there cute little remarks i still learn ever day the day i quit learning is the day i quit driving. Butt just like anyone these days you know it all and can't help know one and everyone wants to know why the older guys don't help out anyone. And for you miss wargames i have 22 years plus so i don't really give a #### what you think or say. You can take you remarks and stick them where the sun dont shine. I still have log books that date back before 1988 so if you want to state facts you might want to know what in the H### your stating.
