Heh. Like the ebay auction a couple weeks ago for a pair of white power
mirrors.  The seller desribed them as "euro spec" and "european market", as
if they were something unusual in North America. I almost felt like asking
him if the "OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR" on the right side
mirror glass was euro-spec as well. Of course, he also described the glass
as being in "mint condition", when the photos very clearly showed the
silvering flaking off the edges of the glass as it so often does...
