In the “world” of our electric three-wheeled trucks, most vehicles come standard with ordinary round or square rearview mirrors, being very proper but without any characteristics. However, I just didn’t want to follow the crowd, so I installed a pair of oval black rearview mirrors on my beloved vehicle. Once installed, goodness me, it directly launched a wonderful journey full of surprises and joys.

When I decided to replace with this pair of rearview mirrors, I was purely attracted by their unique shape and mysterious black color. That oval shape stood out as particularly different among the uniform rearview mirrors on the street, as if carrying a different kind of elegance. And that deep black color exuded a sense of coolness, instantly transforming my electric three-wheeled truck from an “ordinary one” into something with a bit of the flavor of a “mysterious knight”. When placing the order, my heart was like having a little rabbit in it. I was both expectant and excited, imagining what my vehicle would look like after installing them.

As soon as the package arrived, I couldn’t wait to start the installation. I thought that with my “experience” of tinkering with small items on a daily basis, installing a rearview mirror would be a piece of cake. But reality gave me a setback. The structure of the handlebars of the electric three-wheeled truck was much more complicated than I had imagined, and the positions of the screw holes were extremely tricky. It was even difficult to get the wrench in. I exerted a great deal of effort and finally managed to fix the rearview mirrors in place. When I looked up, I almost got so angry that I fainted. One of the two rearview mirrors tilted to the left, as if it were searching for lost treasures; the other leaned to the right, as if it were gazing at the beautiful scenery in the distance. I tossed and turned them back and forth countless times, sweating profusely. In the end, I had to ask Master Li next door, who repairs vehicles, for help. While skillfully adjusting the rearview mirrors, Master Li smiled and teased me, “The rearview mirrors you chose are really special. The installation difficulty is almost on par with installing parts on an airplane.” I scratched my head awkwardly beside him, thinking to myself: indeed, beautiful things always require some effort.

Just a few days after installing this pair of rearview mirrors, there was a “misunderstanding” that made people laugh and cry. Once, I was driving to deliver goods and waiting for a red light at an intersection. The driver brother in a car next to me rolled down the window and shouted at me curiously, “Master, what kind of high-tech gadget is installed on your truck? It looks really cool!” I was taken aback for a moment. When I looked in the direction he pointed, it turned out to be my oval black rearview mirrors. I smiled and explained to him, “Brother, these are just ordinary rearview mirrors, just with a special shape.” The brother suddenly understood and didn’t forget to praise, “The current designs are really bold. I thought it was some new type of vehicle monitoring device.” When the green light came on, I drove on. I felt so delighted in my heart that I felt like I wasn’t driving an electric three-wheeled truck, but a high-tech war vehicle from the future world.

Another time, I went to a residential area to deliver goods. As soon as I parked the truck, a group of children surrounded it like they had discovered a new continent. One of the little boys opened his eyes wide and pointed at my rearview mirrors, saying, “Look! The eyes of this three-wheeled truck are so strange. They’re like two big black jewels. Is it going to transform into a super robot?” The other children also started chattering. Some said that these rearview mirrors could shoot lasers, and some said that they could make the three-wheeled truck fly. Standing aside, I couldn’t help laughing heartily when I saw their innocent and lovely looks. I told the children that these were just rearview mirrors, but they were skeptical. Their curious eyes seemed to be saying: How could such a magical thing be just an ordinary mirror?

Although this pair of rearview mirrors is extremely eye-catching in appearance, it performs even more remarkably in terms of practicality. The oval design makes the field of vision particularly wide. In the past, when turning or changing lanes while driving, I was always very cautious, for fear that a vehicle would suddenly appear from behind. Now, I just need to take a quick glance at the rearview mirrors, and I can have a clear view of the situation behind. Once, I was preparing to turn at an intersection. I clearly saw from the rearview mirrors that a motorcycle was speeding towards me from behind, and the rider was wearing headphones and didn’t notice the situation ahead at all. If it weren’t for the timely warning of this pair of “little black mirrors”, when I made that turn, I would definitely have had a “close encounter” with him. I quickly stopped and let out a long sigh of relief after the motorcycle passed, feeling even more grateful to this pair of rearview mirrors.

However, this pair of rearview mirrors can also cause me a little trouble occasionally. Because of their relatively unique shape and larger size, when navigating through some narrow alleys, I’m always worried about hitting the walls or other vehicles next to me. Once, when delivering goods, I had to pass through a particularly narrow alley with high walls on both sides. I drove carefully, staring intently at the rearview mirrors, for fear of any accidents. As it turned out, what I feared happened. Just halfway through the alley, I heard a “creak” sound, and the rearview mirror rubbed against the wall. My heart tightened, and I quickly got out of the car to check. Fortunately, there was only a slight scratch on the edge of the rearview mirror, and no major damage was caused. Since then, every time I pass through a narrow place, I feel like I’m walking on a tightrope, with my nerves highly tense.

Once, it suddenly rained heavily on the way to deliver goods. The raindrops kept hitting the black rearview mirrors, instantly blurring my vision. I was extremely anxious and quickly found a safe place by the roadside to stop. I rummaged through the car and found a rag, carefully wiping the rearview mirrors. But shortly after I finished wiping, new raindrops fell on them again. I could only silently pray in my heart for the rain to stop quickly and continue moving forward at a speed slower than a snail. That feeling was really uncomfortable. Finally, when I managed to reach the destination, the rain gradually stopped. Looking at the rearview mirrors that became clear again, I let out a long sigh of relief.

Once, I accidentally drove over a big pothole on the way to deliver goods, and the vehicle jolted violently. At that time, I didn’t pay much attention. But when I was preparing to turn at the next intersection, I suddenly found that the rearview mirror on the right side was a bit loose, and the lens was wobbling. My heart skipped a beat. If it fell off, it would be really troublesome. I quickly found an open space to park and carefully checked it. I found that one of the screws fixing the rearview mirror was loose, probably due to that jolt just now. I took out the toolbox and it took me a great deal of effort to tighten the screw. Since then, every time I drive through a potholed road, I’m like a startled bird, constantly paying attention to the situation of the rearview mirrors.

But these little episodes don’t affect my love for this pair of oval black rearview mirrors at all. They make my electric three-wheeled truck unique, with an extremely high rate of people turning their heads to look. They also add countless joys and a great sense of security to my delivery journey. Folks, if you also want to add some equipment that combines both personality and practicality to your beloved vehicles, you might as well try this special kind of rearview mirror. Maybe you can also harvest a different wonderful story!
