rear view mirror position,

did you notice that the mirror is double jointed? most of us have found that by adjust it up and towards the front so it is high and right up next to the glass works very well.

How's the 8 handle with the extra weight?

Yeah I was just stating the obvious, haha. I did not really push it too hard with them all in it because it was wet out. But maybe it understeers more?? *shrug* I dunno.

No I did not notice that and thank you for pointing it out! I've only had the car for a week. Everytime I came to a 4 way stop there was nothing but mirror where the car to the right was. No telling how long it would have taken me to figure that out. Mark one dislike off the list. Thanks again.:D
