Default Left rear-view vibration
I'm bored.





Why does the left hand mirror vibrate more than the right one when you're anywhere past 2500 RPM?

Your left mirror is low on fluid. I am suprised the dummy light did not come on yet. Top it off before serious damage happens.

My lefty vibrates more than the right one also. Not a major thing, but I've wondered about it too.

Your left mirror is low on fluid. I am suprised the dummy light did not come on yet. Top it off before serious damage happens.
This reminds me of a story a buddy told me about when a buddy of mine's wife came in one day and said that one of her turn signals stopped working on her car. He off-handedly said to her that it must be out of blinker fluid. Without saying anything to him, the next day she takes the car to the mechanic, you guessed it, to get some blinker fluid. I was over at his house when she came home and told us that the mechanic didn't have any blinker fluid. I told her that she could just top it off with water and it would be ok for now. She went out side. My buddy and I are just rolling on the floor now. We went outside a few minutes later, and sure enough she has the hood up holding the hose when she asks where you put the water. My buddy replies that you just spray it on the blinker. As she begins to do this she notices us beginning to snicker. We just couldn't hold it in. Turns out that this was a bad time to give away that we were pulling her leg, because she was holding a hose. Needless to say, we got wet. But, man, the look on her face was priceless when she finally realized she was being toyed with.
