Complaints from the girlfriend ??

I have not taken delivery of my car yet, but ever since my girlfriend and I went to order the car (and sat in a few the dealer had fresh off the truck), my girlfriend has been complaining about how small the mirrors are.

And by mirrors of course, I mean the little "make-up mirrors" in the visors. I didn't think there was a difference, but then again, I could care less

So i was curious... anybody else on here encounter such complaints??

Buy her a hand mirror and keep in on the back seat, which isn't really much good for people.

Tell her she won't need a mirror when her head is in your lap all the time. That's what happens to us guys when we drive the Camaro.

Bonnie still ribs me about hers being faster. She asked me if we shouldn't take HER car to Atlanta so we can make better time.

That's ok, when their done I'll be dirtying her car up with rubber.

They're smaller in the Camaro than in most other cars....but who cares.....I don't really use them much but they seem sufficient to me. It's meant to go fast, not provide good lighting/mirror for eyeliner application......

she may think she needs better mirrors but hopefully she forgets all about that while you guys are cruising.....
