If you're talking about outside mirrors, they most likely have internal heating to
prevent icing in cold weather (you've heard about cold weather, right!!??).  Ford
trucks have that now.

Inside mirrors probably have adjustable amounts of glare reduction, and on and off
compass settings.  The Crown Vick has an on and off compass heading switch, and it's
5 years old!!

...just more stuff to break later.
