I'm completely opposite, I WANT that rear-view mirror, can't function without it. I aim it slightly downward so I catch a bit of my tailgate in it, so I can judge distance from my tailgate to whoever's riding my a$$

Yeah, that IS what the law says. But I have the power mirror and there is a wire harness hanging from the roof, so it's still obstructed.

^THAT. lol I actually use mine to back up, it's nice really. lol

I can't function without it, I find it more difficult to drive without the mirror there.

I rarely use mine except to check out who's behind me as well. I either turn my head or use my side mirrors when backing up.

Back in the day... when I had my 'bird, the inside mirror fell off.... I drove it for a few days like that, waiting for the weekend to fix it.... and got used to not having it, and I REALLY liked the way it opened up the view thru the windshield... I never bothered to put it back on. (not like I could see a lot out of it in any event......)

The mirror on the truck is still hanging there, but, I don't use it often. Mostly use the side mirrors, or, turn my head to back up.

I also like having my interior intact.

That's mostly it I think.

Yesterday was install day for new HV oil pump. Today is pull the intake, dizy and install the hardened oil pump shaft. I am not happy with my currant oil psi so I am starting an other motor build (short block) for the fall. Also ordered a new 7qt oil pan and pick-up tube.

Detailed the interior and did a massive re-organization of my toolbox. Actually thought about taking it out, but then I wouldn't have anywhere to keep the stuff that's in it.....
