Of course, it wasn’t all that often that I would come upon a slower vehicle on the Autobahn, haha.
On a good day, I used to be faster than a school bus. Or some walking ederly people (like me).

I keep forgetting that my ‘79 came without the right side mirror. When I was stationed in Germany in 1980, I took my X with me. Shortly after I got there, I happened to find a matching Vitaloni right side mirror in the PX of all places. Mounted on the door like the other side and it’s been there ever since. Definitely came in handy when moving back into the right lane on the Autobahn after passing a slower vehicle before a fast Mercedes or BMW roars up on your ass.

Odd, but not at best. It was quite common back in the day. Many small cars in the US had an optional or non-existent right side mirror.Really? Wow. Because the cars were so slow they never ventured into the left lane? lol. Couldn’t resist. But that is odd at best. So any car before ‘83 in the U.S. had to guess when merging right?
no right mirror on my 83Ok,’83.
Seems aggressive.Actually $7000 now.
