Gotcha! Guess I should've scrolled back a couple of pages before I threw in my 2.5 cents.
Okay, granted, the Elio is not a fighter jet, yet fighter jets have rearview/sideview mirrors. They're in an arc pattern (one center, one on either side) inside of the canopy. I wonder if "Johnny Law" would allow such a configuration in an Elio, possibly mounted on the A pillars. They'd still have functional sideview mirrors (skip the center one, unless you like checking yourself out while you're driving), but they'd be out of the airstream, easily adjustable, and out of the weather (no icing). Just throwing it against the wall to see if it sticks. o_O
