Z06 Mirrors
Hey guys a quick question for you.
I recently started renting a garage to keep the Vette in over the winter. Well the entrance to the garage is way tight, and there is a concrete step up to drive onto to get in. It sucked getting it in there, and I ended up stalling it twice making sure I didn't hit my mirrors with about a total of 3 inches clearence (1.5 per side). I recall reading somewhere you can rotate the mirrors close in to the car. I gently attempted this but was a no go and I did not want to hurt anything.
Backing out is going to be a real problem it looks. Are the mirrors able to rotate in?

They move.. but they have to be tight so they don't fold when you are going 170mph 
My in-laws just bought a GS-400. They have feature that folds the mirrors in for tight parking spaces at the push of a button. Kinda cool I guess... just something else to break

I'm sure it opens up larger than the garage door width once inside. Can't say the question didn't go through my mind either.
