And I suppose I can see where such a device would be somewhat helpful for parallel parking, I didn't think about that because us suburbanites don't have to deal with it very often. Maybe buy her a smaller vehicle that's easier to park?

I was talking about a massage device. She is constantly asking for foot rubs. That foot massager was the best $30 I ever spent.

We just purchased a 2010 Murano for Mrs. TrebMaxx which came equipped with a back up camera. I still find myself using the mirrors and not even paying attention to the display while backing up. My wife seems to dig it but I think it is just novelty at this point. I haven't had the chance to parallel park the new rig yet but that is a time that it might come in handy as another eye for you to use. To the OP, sorry don't know what brand to recommend.

Sort of, yes. A military reference to "eyes."

Neither I nor my wife have EVER backed into anything. So, this is a waste of money.

If you want to get her something cool, get her an Android phone or an iPhone... smartphones have way more functionality.

I understand her point. But one of Fariba's qualities that Charmed me three years ago into marrying her is the fact that she really does not care about these things. Sure she is a woman and I'm sure she loves the typical niceties that women want. But she also gets excited about "toy" gifts. I'm pretty sure I'm safe there.

Fariba has a problem with her neck and constantly complains about the concentrated pain at the base of her neck. She wants me to massage it a lot, but I'm too clumsy with that. Ironically she likes to massage my aching back and feet and hands and she's great at it. She's an angel, I tell you. Diametrically opposite of my ex.

She drives a Saturn ION. But she is petite and even that is not a really small car for her.
