My newest personal vehicle is a 2002 and thankfully the mirrors are at least one piece. My newest company van is a 2014 and the mirrors are split into two pieces that I can't stand. The upper half is the "Vehicles Are Closer Than They Appear", or "...further than appear", which ever that I finally got used to, and the bottom half is that goofy convexed whatever that is. When I look into the mirrors now, I've got two wrong views and can't figure out whose where. On the passenger side I've gotten into more near crashes because of them, and on the drivers side I gave up and just give a quick look back out the window. I went to the dealer to see if I could purchase one-piece replacements like I had on my old 2002 van, same style except one piece, and they said "No". If I had known about this, I would have switched the mirrors between the '02 and '14 before turning the '02 in for scrap.
Since all of the American manufacturers have the split mirrors now, no option, I figure it must have been another government mandated "latest, greatest" idea kind of like the stop light at the top of the cabs on cars and pickups, or headlights that never shut off so long as the vehicle is in gear. Yep, government folks in washington that took their once part time jobs and some where along the line turned them into full time screw ups at our expense.

I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
