Come to think of it....yes. When we had our house with the two car garage she wanted the right side. Of course when we got the three car garage she wanted the middle.......

It has to be that way, so that she can better see my car and not hit it! When we first moved here, she did manage to hit the garage entrance with her right mirror....

The rear wheel arches are wider than folded mirrors, so if an opening is so tight that you have to fold in the mirrors, don't do it!

I was just explaining to a client who was enamored with the car the "Alive" concept which includes the folding mirrors, pop out handles, moving vent, auto open hatch and pulsing Jaguar heart beat button....great theater. To me it's part of this brands emotional engagement. I also agree on the practical aspects of having mirrors folded when parked. If your going to drop $100k on a car you may as well have something to show for it.

Just curious, on Stohlens point about unecessary weight; did project 7 cars take a leaner approach to these types of unnecessary features if you're looking for a track type car. Special edition SVR coupe would make for interesting car to chase Porsche. I digress.
