Just figured out how to get the passenger side mirror to dip when in reverse to assist with parking. Only wish that both mirrors dipped like on our LR3, but maybe it's an SUV thing. My Benz only dips the passenger side mirror too.

On cars with memory seats if you point the mirror adjustment **** to the right mirror, it will automatically dip it when the car is in reverse.

And when you program your key to your seat you can set the position of the mirror when it dips. All in the owners manual.

Ah. Thanks. No memory seats here. Have to adjust manually to avoid curb rash. Good to know though.

Wayne Smith & I took 2 hours for a mental health Friday lunch blast through the Marin & Sonoma Coast Range.

It was pure bliss with practically no traffic, an impromptu parade with an eighties Carerra, a bit of flirting with an AMG E55 pilot and her son, as well as more flirting with a local cyclist (oh my), and perfectly warm driving conditions with many kills-bugs-fast episodes...great times!

(And I changed the location of the PCA 60th sticker to the lower quadrant of the passenger's side of the windshield.)

Picked it up after sharkwerks bypass plus fister mufflers (cermachrome) installed. One word: wicked. Simply what a sports car should sound like. Even the fiance liked the change saying it sounds great and much more aggressive than before. On the hwy, if i put it in 6th, you cant tell I did anything to the stock system. Zero drone. No loss of low end torque that I can tell, if anything feels like it pulls harder. Real impression is of more speed because of the sound that matches the performance.

I drove to the local car wash and had my Romanian friends wash it. Then I drove back home for some Hendricks and Tonic followed by some Laphroaig.
