Sometimes getting pissed off works
i was working on the camaro, getting it ready for it's "inspection" when i closed the door and heard an odd thud inside teh car. i tunred around and didn't see anything so i didn't think much of it.
i tuned the carb a bit more and then went to get in the car to take it for a test drive. that is when i noticed teh rear view mirror sitting in my seat. i am sure it was comfortabel and all, but i liked it up where it was, you know, so i could SEE WHILE I DRIVE!!!! i had to run to the store anyway for a bulb for my mom's car so i grabbed one of those kits that is supposed to resecure teh mirron to the windshield. after following teh 900 step process on teh instructions i had the mirror support in place and i left it there to dry. i get out of teh car, close teh door, and hear a decidedly smaller thud than last time. i turned around to see the support sitting in my seat. i guess teh support wanted the seat and teh miror was just following along. grrrrr i tried a second time, same result. so i went in teh garage, grabbed a self tapping screw, ran it through the mirror base and into the lip of teh sheet metal where it is all double layer. so i finally get around to taking my car out for that test drive only to find out that the mirror is now positioned much better than it originally was. putting it about 1ft higher inside teh car gave a better view out the back window, teh old position you could get a better view of teh back seat than the road behind the car. i geuss getting pissed off works out from time to time. teh mirror support now live in teh trash can. later tim |

my taurus hasnt had a rearview mirror(on the windshield...it currently resides in the back seat) for about a year and a half now when it fell off...im one hell of a lazy bastard
|
You know Tim, if you scrap the mirror you'll probably lighten the car by 8 ounces. Thats at least worth a 100th of a second.

Cut the glass in half lengthwise, make it thinner, shave some weight off
|
What is the weight difference between the screw and the original mirror base+glue? :wink:

im kinda pissed myself that tim didnt throw the mirror away and hold a womans compact mirror in the air instead for greater weight savings :)
