      I found this out early on with mine. I had thought that because the car was an 06 typical side view wirror blind spots were engineered out. Especially with the size of those side mirrors! But oh heck no...the blind spot on the Aveo will swallow a good sized car if they've got themselves positioned just right... and there's always some bloke right that just manages to do this right at the wrong time.

      That 'over the shoulder' look, that they try to to hammer in peoples heads in drivers ed (I'd know I'm a driving instructor) is still required.. A minor annoyance to an otherwise good car so far.

      That's why my summer car is a convertible. There's nothing like a totally unobstructed view for the ultimate best 'over the shoulder' check; it results in added safety.

      Yeap, I usually drive like a bat out of hell. Meaning I can zip by people and move into the right hand land. EXCEPT and MEAN EXCEPT most people are frickin sheep. As soon as you pass them they speed up and "heard" with the lead car. This morning I got beeped. Scare the hell of me and I feel like an 4$$ for it. I passed a slow car and try to move in the right hand lane ( I did not look over the should just glance my mirror) and I will be damned, the old lady caught up with me and was pacing me. SHEEP I say SHEEP.
      Please do not power off, firmware update pending.....
