Wow... for that I'd put the money towards an aftermarket one with extra snazzy features. How the heck is an OEM rear view mirror worth that much?

Life hack...(Which some of you may already know...)

Rock Auto provide a quasi cross reference service in their parts catalog.

If the vehicle you need is not at the boneyard, check Rock Auto for the part you need. Then click on the part number and it will give you a list of all the vehicles that part was used in.

Increases your chances of getting what you need.

Might not work for trim pieces and such but works well for other stuff.

I needed a new blower fan for my 2011 Ram 1500 and found it in a 2006 Chrysler 300 I believe.

Happy hunting.

Not sure what snazzy features I can get in a mirror?

My mechanic said it is due to the wiring for the defroster and the remote adjust on the mirror. The one from Nissan was $1200 new. The $700 one was used.

Defroster and remote adjust might do it. Some mirrors have the garage door opener too.

Certain aftermarket ones have bluetooth and Carplay/Android Auto built in.

Stuff like that.

My daughter now responds to ‘why don’t you?’ with ‘Pull the plug!’ in her best metal voice at 2.5 years old after that became our ‘thing’ when we finished bath tub time and pulled the plug on the drain.

Smitten man.

I’ve been thinking about the tramp stamp more and more recently and I kinda wanna go basic bi*** with it. Something like:

Live Laugh Lobster

It could be improved upon though. Maybe I’ll make a poll for a tramp stamp tattoo for me to get. I’ve got enough tattoos on me now that something like a crowd sourced tattoo actually sounds fun to me

Took my kid to a rare special event in our town, local Robert Munsch reading his stories. Well, he doesn’t read them, he spits them right off the dome.

It was a blast. What an icon.

Ah. Side mirrors. I think some of us were thinking mirror inside on windshield. I've always called that one the rearview.

Yep. He's Norwegian-Canadian. His real first name is Edvard but he goes by Robert in Canada.

Wow. He’s absolutely an icon.

In 2021, he announced that he has dementia which makes pretty impressive that he’s out there reading his stories.
