You mean everyone doesn't have a picture of their Vanagon mirrors on
hand?!?! ;-D

Actually, I did stick the camera out the window a bit to get the photos of
the Vanagon caravan from the Buses by the Beach event this past May...

With a properly situated driver, the blind-spot mirror does the trick very
well, so you can see those Smart Cars sneaking up and passing you in your
blind spot!

I am surprised that you have a pic of the mirror on hand.:-)  I see mostly
van, but no road on the blind spot mirror. Just my .02
