Are you sure? The "official" manner of adjustment has changed.

How To: Adjust Your Mirrors to Avoid Blind Spots - Feature - Car and Driver

Now they recommend adjusting the mirrors almost all the way outward on both sides. The adjustment is based on the idea that on either edge of your rear-view mirror you should see half a vehicle, and in the associated side mirror you should see the other half of that vehicle. You should not be able to see a large overlap, or any of the vehicle behind you in either side mirror. You should not be able to see the side of the car at all.

I tried this, and son of a gun, it works. Adjusted this way you can see a vehicle in your side mirror all the way until you can see it in your peripheral vision. I've adjusted my Roadster's mirrors in this manner, and there is no blind spot at all.

i've always wondered how hot the 350Z's oil got. my 07 HR never went into limp mode and i drove that car like it was meant to be driven.

my complaint regarding the rear quarter panel window wasn't so much for while driving in traffic, but rather when you have to park at an angle in a parking lot and you really needed to see outta that small window to see if a car was coming, while your mirrors were pretty much useless.

Yeah. Can't argue with that. I'd rather have the top down for something like that. The Roadster's quarter window is even smaller than that of the coupe. :)

LOL i just realized you have a roadster after looking at your profile pic.

and yes, the top coming down would make backing out of a spot (when parked at an angle) so much easier :rofl2:

Anything backing up is a bear with the top up. The Roadster has a tiny rear window compared with the coupe, and no quarter windows at all.

The whole visibility thing is why I jumped on that new mirror setup when I found it. According to the article they came out with that in 1995 which makes "new" not all that new. Hey, who knew?

I hate my Z.

There. You happy now.

Lol. Get a bike. It'll assure you only remotely care about any car you have. Altho the close to death situation once a week can kinda be a bummer for some people... you get used to it? Ehh...

The only thing detering me from a bike is the whole death factor. That's my biggest gripe from factory in that department. Something about dying just doesn't sound like a good idea.

tell us how you really feel :rofl2:
