heated mirrors

[luchobucho]

anyone know of any aftermarket parts that would work with the V...I hate scraping my mirrors when they're icey.

[7speed]

I don't know of any aftermarket items, but I know that the SL Versa comes standard with heated mirrors in Canada. Try ordering OEM ones from your dealer (though I'm sure you'll have to give them your first born child )

[Althalus]

Damn it. Abs standard, heated side mirrors (which are a must apparently because mine are always foggy). Canada gets the good stuff.

Canada gets the good stuff.

We don't get "all" the good stuff. We don't have the Intelligent Key system, and I would kill to get that on my V.

Yeah, no kidding. It would make more sense to make one car and only have to change a few things (like the dash and DRLs) But all of the standard features there should be standard here. They do get all the goods. That's why I married a Canadian girl

What's that all aboot ya hoser?

Heck, they should have just made one model. I know that the i-Key would be loved by our neighbors to the north, and I would have loved standard ABS, DRLs, and heated mirrors.

You have no idea how nice the i-key would be up here. Have you ever tried to get keys out of your pocket with mittens on? It's nearly impossible. And DRLs are required by law up here, and have been since 1991. If you want them standard down south, write your local parlimentary representative (or whatever the equivalent is..congressman/senator..favorite lobby group)

What's that all aboot ya hoser?

Oh, and its pronounced rooooooof, not ruf, it's pop, not soda, a couch, not a chesterfield or sofa, a creek, not a crik, and words like harbour, honour, colour, and neighbour are supposed to have 'u's in them, despite what Microsoft would have you believe.

I kid 'cause I love. I'm proud to be Canadian, and I'm proud to be neighbours with the good ole US of A.

Ah, the joys of accents. Some of the best times I've had with my wife was sitting around comparing her Canadian accent to my (what she calls) Cowboy accent. My Teeen(10) and her Ten, my couch and her coach, my finsta and her laughing because she never heard anything like it before. Our parents have the best conversations, old Texans and Old Canadians

I don't think I would go as far as DRLs since daylight sensors would be better. Rather than keeping the headlight on constantly, you use it when it's required. I would like to see auto lamps mandated one day. No more losers riding around with lights off when it's raining.

[BBISHOPPCM]

I wonder if I can rip the heated mirrors off my '87 300ZX... who needs heated mirrors on a sports car, anyway?

Whatza finsta? In English?

What I like about DRLs are on 2 lane highways. You can tell if that car in the distance is coming towards you when you are about to overtake a semi (pronounced like semmie, not sem-eye, LOL) hauling a trailer. A million years ago, when I took driver ed, we were told to drive on the highway with our lights on, as a safety measure. I sure like the DRLs now 'cause I had too many dead batteries when I forgot to turn the lights off. Of course that was before I had a car that beeped when I left my lights on.

I get frustrated seeing cars in the early morning drive, at dusk, in rain/snow/fog that don't have any lights on. I once hit a car I couldn't see because the driver didn't have his lights on mid-day in somewhat gloomy weather. So for lazy or mentally vacant drivers, having a car with DRLs are a blessing for the rest of us.

Finsta = About to

I think it might be a Texas thing. But then again, it might just be a southern's thing like the word ya'll.

Used in a sentence: "I'm finsta go to the store, ya'll want anything?"

That's why DRL are the way to go. They are always on, and bottom line, you are more visible with them on. Even in bright sunlight, you're simply more visible with lights on, and that prevents accidents.

I suspect this comes from "fixing to." But what do I know. I'm Can-eh-dian.

Yep, you're correct. We also use that down here.

A million years ago, when I took driver ed, we were told to drive on the highway with our lights on, as a safety measure.

Not quite a million years ago, my brother was driving in Hungary, and got pulled over by the police because he was driving on the highway without his lights on, and it was in the middle of the day.
