Actually, the mirror in my Fiance's evil '02 Explorer has the
electric auto-dimming feature and you can't even tell that it is working
unless you think about the fact that you should be blinded by the light
behind you. I don't have any experience with JC Whitney's aftermarket
version, but their stuff has a poor reputation.
And to add to the Anti-SUV thread, I don't mind driving her truck
and I'm borrowing it to take the race car and a few of my racing buddies to
an ice race next weekend. I can't do that with my Miata (or even my pickup
truck).
