    That should have CA plates and the rear end needs a 6 inch drop on it for it to be accurate.

    OP probably doing a rear lowering kit as we speak.

    You should also actually be looking around your vehicle before merging for any of said blind spots. I've been a part of so may near-misses from assholes not paying attention to that. Also, this video did not say you won't see the side of it, but rather said it should be just barely visible.

    agreed on looking around for sure.

    “Lean a little to the left and position your side mirror”.

    what do you think will happen when you aren’t leaning? ;)

    done going back and forth on this. Ha!! Just telling people how to get rid of that blind spot.

    Yeah.
    That makes it impossible to know if your mirror has been moved, and it provides no point of reference. I get it, but not for me. I check my blind spot anyway, it should be a habit for everyone.

    Good point. I forgot about that part. Either way, you'll still have some blind spots depending on the mirror size, seating position, not paying attention, etc. Just set them as you like them and pay attention like you were taught in driver's ed and you'll be fine.

    That form is just to much work. I think I need a latte and a safe space.

    For that safe space, we'll have to upgrade your tacoma with the centurion package where we throw the whole thing away and get you a Ridgeline

    I do like the new V90s. Saw one of the R designs in the blue metallic and it is a looker. My pops had a V60 Polestar. Now that car was fun.

    I had a V70XC cross country turbo 5cyl, w. Awd. Loved it. Drive 7 hours get out more relaxed than when you sit down.

    OP needs a Volvo. The doors go THUNK. The radio works great, you can see. It really is the only option left.

    Shut up bro your literal first post couldn’t possibly be any snarkier. You sound like an entitled douche and absolutely no one on here cares about your issues. Go cry to your girlfriend instead.
