I can see why they have it in the markets they do, and I hope OP gets it worked out.

But you add stuff like that, bit by bit, then you have a 3200lb "sports" car.
Add folding mirrors=remove the spare. Problem solved

Not sure that I have the level of OCPD to even notice if my power mirrors were not "in sync" much less worry about it.

depends on how out of sync it is.
I doubt i'd worry about it in any case. as long as it folds.

Heck my X1's folding mirrors aren't really in sync. I think one side finishes folding about a split second faster than the other side......

I found it odd that while driving around California's city streets that the more expensive the neighborhood was the worse the roads are. There were roads in some very high end areas that were in worse condition than the ones in downtown Detroit. Then you would drive past a huge homeless camp by the docks and the roads were great. I even mentioned how odd it was to @ultramaroon .

All the people in the nice areas drive Range Rovers and shit with suspension so soft they don't feel anything. They leave the roads in bad shape to keep the cars with harsher suspension out.

Parking in northeast or south philly streets with this car is a bear, so worried people will bump it or scratch it so I usually take a train in to work
