Am I old-fashioned or does the average driver not pay attention to their mirrors or bother turning their head around when backing up? :?

this.
my mom has a 2013 nissan rogue with a rearview camera and its nice, but its more of a a "hey look what this has" kind of thing. i rarely use if i have to borrow her car for moving things that wont fit in the sedan or the subie.

i wish there was a simple cheap econo box that was the perfect platform on which to build a car, oh, wait, thats the eg civic. 8)

I was thinking, cars have gotten bigger and harder to see out of due to much higher belt lines and shorter windows in the last 10-15 yrs. Plus there's crossovers and suv's everywhere now.

When you have a vehicle that you cant see out the back of it is very hard to back up in a parking lot. That seems to be the only place that I have seen that the backup camera have been almost a necessity.

I guess, it's what the times are calling for.

I do the old fashion way normally but it does help with parking to see how close I am to shit and blah blah blah. It helps fine tune reverse skills I think and its a plus at night. But I do agree...people are just fucking lazy. Why else is it so hard to find a manual transmission car? Americans are fucking lazy! :lol:
