So I know where people are behind me without looking to begin with, the mirror/look checks are just double-takes to make sure they didn't do something totally unpredictable. (Well, and the rear view checks spot oncoming faster drivers, but even though I scan it religiously that's pretty rare heh. Usually more likely to find the fuzz there )
That's me for sure. Now that I have a cage the top main loop has block some of my view out the rear. I need to drop my rear view some how. Mostly for track purpose.

Blind Spot
That one inspired this thread. This thread is to see if everyone's talk about blind spots is all talk. I don't see any concrete stories from people about it causing an accident. So why are threads like the one you linked to still in existence??

What I am proposing is the following when someone new posts about blind spots:

1. Someone posts "Hey, I heard the 370Z has bad blind spots. Is this true?"
2. Someone replies "No."
3. Lock thread.

That should be the end of it unless I see a legitimate story about someone having their mirrors aimed properly and still hitting someone.
