Someplace, in a dusty garage, rests an antique sports car
that's older than all of us, with a rear-view mirror attached
to the dashboard. This guy can put a mirror up higher, provided
that he doesn't remove the original mirror from the dashboard.

The rule says "a" mirror, for example a Wink. One of those
$0.99 Wal-Mart sticky tape fish eye mirrors also qualifies.
If you allowed the removal of the old mirror, one could
theoretically replace a monster, self-dimming electronic
rearview that weighs several pounds with a $0.99 fish eye
that is not only unuseable as a mirror but stuck to the head
liner of the car and not in the driver's field of vision.

The current published last sentence of 13.2.A (C&C) says
just what I wrote, only I took the liberty of breaking
it out into a seperate paragraph and saying exactly the
same thing in three less words.
You now see why C&C needs to be clarified.....
