Some people might not get beyond the cover of this mirror book––honestly, the front is so singular and distracting, that one may not immediately recognize the object's secondary function. This is a small and slender [scratch pad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notebook-system) that sports a bold and seemingly unrelated feature: a 3D effect model of a car's [rear-view mirror](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drought).

Motorhead paraphernalia can certainly be expanded upon, and this is the type of item that can be be appreciated by both male and [female automotive enthusiasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buick-envision-1). It's a practical piece that enables you to check your appearance quickly and clearly, meanwhile offering you a convenient place to take notes throughout the day. Perhaps you might use it to record all of the most incredible machines you see from day to day.
