There are unconfirmed reports that people* who used to ride motorbikes had short lengths of steel bar sewn onto the forearms of their leather jacket to better smash wingmirrors cleanly off.

stupid kids decide to whack in my wingmirrors right as I'm pulling out

go around to park up and unfold them, as I'm driving to do so, there's a cop car behind me

thankfully, the cops are chill

anyway how's your tuesday

as long as it doesn't damage the wheel/pushchair they should fuck up cars like this as much as possible

theres several cars around here who block the pavement and leave their wingmirrors sticking out so i'm doing my part by walking into them as impactfully as possible trying to wrench them off

Me neither. Think I saw it when I was a student. A moped with all those wingmirrors, so it can't be crept up on is definitely scary! 😉

wingmirrors on the bonnet and spokes? maybe an MG?

Second pic gives a good view of the uniquely streamlined wingmirrors, prefiguring today's cameras-for-mirrors drag reduction techniques 😀👍

I miss being able to do this on the speed triple. If I did it on the tiger I'd have wingmirrors off

Not just by being good enough to keep Trent at fullback, but they way he's done it. Everything Gravenberch has excelled at is what Trent is missing. The wingmirrors, taking the ball under duress, turning out of trouble, being physically dominant. It's been soooo far above Trent's level there

Someone almost crashed into me today because they drove out of a junction on the wrong side of the road, and I'm starting to understand why people get out of their cars and smash wingmirrors.

even then they'll just give you non-OEM wingmirrors that they've set the apprentice loose on with some glass paint. I guess if you go ahead it depends on how committed to the theme you are

Meanwhile my golden retriever yesterday noticed the wingmirrors folding in when I locked the car, and he noped into the house as fast as he could (and gave the car sideeye the next time we passed it.)

Combo between "unexpected noises", "things that move by themselves," and "things with wheels."

you wanna terrify an american, take them not offroad but on the roads with three hundred year old hedges rising either side and only locals driving at 60mph...

make them sit while you reverse cos you're facing uphill or the other car has a trailer.

wind down the window to snap the wingmirrors in.

Clever design trick with the wingmirrors was that they were held in with 3 ball sockets. They just popped right back on every time you lost it for.... Reasons (it was 153cm wide.... And I might have squeezed it through 152cm gaps more than once. At speed...)

If you spend £35k on a car like a Qashqai, then of course it's going to have "wing mirrors that have evolved to include actuators, motors, lights, signals and sensors to enhance functionality and safety"
If you get a Hyundai i10 for £15 then the wingmirrors aren't going to need fixing any time soon.

I think sadly the pavements here are sufficiently wide that the setback you need to put on bollards to stop folks taking off their wingmirrors would mean that wheelchair / buggies couldn't get past 😭

Well, I feel silly now that I never knew. I obviously know which side of my own car the tank's on, but it would have been handy for all the countless times I've approached petrol stations nervously in a hire car while trying to spot the cap location in the wingmirrors 🤣
