Hey, I'm not taking any offense from anyone. I've driven a Civic with a Wink mirror and it took me all of 5 minutes to become infuriated with it. There's a fine line between added usefulness and seeing wayyyy too much, and I felt that the mirror showed me way more than I need to or care to see. Some people like them, I personally couldn't stand one in my own car. My comparison between a Wink mirror and Hellaflush was just to say that people fall into trends and love it at the time and can't see why other people can't stand it. It's all a look and personal preference and I just find the mirror to be entirely too much and useless as far as added vision goes. It's not really showing me what's going on outside the car so much as it was showing me what was happening in every nook and cranny inside the car.
