[Re: Getting into the USA] - Euro Rearview Mirror

[treed2@u.washington.edu (T. Reed)]

Honestly, I thought Ron was referring to the side "rear view" mirrors..
which are also different. The difference being that the passenger side
mirrors don't have that goofy "objects are closer than they appear"
message etched in to them. I suppose getting a set without the message
makes your car a little more euro-authentic and a little less like
grandma's buick...
