As for you guys and your blind spots, try this trick I read about a long time ago in a popular mechanics article. Lean your head against the driver window and then adjust the mirror on that side to where you normally adjust it looking down the side of the car. The passenger side is then adjusted the same way except your head is above the center console. Now when a car starts disappearing from your rear view on the windshield it appears in your side mirrors. Blind spot eliminated as the mirror now directly shows you everything in it. From what the article said, if I remember correctly, that was how they were originally designed to work. You might have to adjust them to back into a parking spot and it takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do it makes the blind spot issue a lot less of a headache.
Of course after searching, here is a link to the article, although I remember reading it much earlier than the date on this one:

My mirrors are adjusted to see my blind spot, although i dont do it like the article.
I see no reason to have my outside mirrors look back behind me when i can do that with my interior rear view mirror.
As soon as the cars on either side of me get lost in the interior rear view mirror, they appear in my outside mirros, then when they disappear in those, they are pulling up right beside me where i can see them. Never a blind spot for me.
