mirrors

[towman]

as seeing how everyone here loves their mirrors , there is another nickname for the dumbos, the auto body parts store i buy from calls them swan neckk mirrors, so must be a regional thing like soda, or pop

Swan neck, huh?

Can't see it for the regular truck mirrors, but the van mirrors, I can.

You must be registered for see images

yep thats what he called them last time i ordered a set of them, but you didn;t say if it was pop or soda where are from

It's usually pop here, but not always. Apparently in some areas, a drinking fountain is called a "bubbler".

I'm from Kansas and it's pop there, but when I moved here to texas it's either a soda, or a coke, no matter what kinda soda... it's a coke, lol

Yea it's pretty bad when you have to ask what kind of Coke.

 

[RetroC10Sport]

I have to be careful with Coke...A Coca-Cola will kill me. I'm highly allergic.

But I don't drink soda anymore anyway.

I knew a family in Cali like that too on the Coke thing. Mom's going to the store, does anyone need anything? Yeah get me a Coke., OK, what Kind? Uhhh, a Pepsi would be great. OK Rich, what kind of Coke do you want, I'll have a Sprite. LMAO

And as far as those mirrors, in Cali we always called them Paddle mirrors. Personally, I don't care what they are called just so long as someone knows what I am reffering to, and I order a set of Paddles, I don't get 4 ft Oars, or Dumbos, and get a set of dead elephant ears.

A friend of mine used to have an '89 Ranger, we said it looked like it had "Pete's Dragon" mirrors.

Makes you wonder what mirrors and Disney charachters have in common. Isn't Pete's Dragon a Disney flick too?

Dunno, it might be. I haven't seen it since I was a kid.
