I know they're available for the standard mirrors, but it would be extra points on the M3 type. Just pretend you "dropped" a $20 out of your wallet when you were paying for something else. I had to do that once when I "accidently" stopped by a strip club with friends. EDIT: I'm not married, but I got grilled by the girl. __________________ I scream, you scream, we all scream for ZOMBIES. | | | 12-01-2005, 06:02 AM | #8 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | Quote: Originally Posted by aceyx Just pretend you "dropped" a $20 out of your wallet when you were paying for something else.
