I was driving home today when I noticed something strange on my car.
I checked for some picturess on-line, and I have come to the conclusion that my car is not the only one like this.

Have you ever noticed that the on the 964 the Rear View mirror on the right side door is in a different location than the one on the left side door? Obviously it is so that its in the optimal location to see rearward.

Strange but true.

+1 - Both of my cars are that way. I assumed the factory engineers did it to ensure the driver can see all of both mirrors. I'd be curious to hear in the right hand drive cars have it too?

Yes. At first I thought someone had made a mistake when installing it...

Its a case of why engineers get paid. I would have just put them in the same place when I built my car, and I then couldn't park it or make a lane change.
