How does one adjust the side mirrors, manually or electronically? It's electronic.
Have you owned a hatchback style car ? LINK —>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatchback
Yes, I had a 1977 Toyota Corolla hatchback. The previous owner, a drug dealer, had used it to transport marijuana from a grow site in Humboldt County, so the front end was all messed up from being driven off road, and there were red dirt stains on the black carpet that would never come out. The car looked good on the outside, but boy, was I ever happy to get rid of it.

Is there anything you put vinegar on or in ? Do you use vinegar with food, for cleaning, or another purpose ? Not my dept. There's a bottle laying around here somewhere, I have no idea what she does with it..
