Rear View Mirror Distortion
The rear view mirror in my 89 really distorts objects, it makes them look a lot shorter and wider than they are.
Minivans look like Camaros, Camaros look like Indy Cars, I doubt a Corvette would even show up.
Anybody else notice this? Is there an aftermarket mirror that doesn't distort? The side mirrors are fine, everything looks normal in them.

Keep it under 100 mph now and then and they will not be so distorted!

Never had that problem before so not sure. I cant ever see out of my rear view mirrors but that's from having the stereo turned up so loud

Don't have that issue with mine.
Perhaps you already have an aftermarket mirror.
