Sometimes the size of the S2000 is a pain in the ass. Not because you can't haul stuff/people around, but because a lot of other cars don't see you. I swear, I almost get run off the road regularly, cut off, hit, etc. because no one notices the tiny car near them.

It's especially bad with larger trucks and SUVs/vans since they sit so high. (that, and their headlights are right in my ****ing mirror)


I think from now on I'll just have to drive with the headlights on all the time. The car is silver, so maybe that's part of the problem too.

hmmm that never happened to me in the s2000, but on the bike HELL YEA. it gets so frustrating, it happens to me probably every time i ride. back on topic, maybe try and keep out of their blind spots?

 

I'm actually extremely conscientious about blind spots; the S2000 has a nasty one with the top up, so I know how tricky that can be.

 

Yes. nobody sees them.

i was in a quiznos parking lot, and my car was parked about 4 feet away, from the truck next to me, we were both in our parking spaces. he came out, didnt even see my car, got in his truck, backed out, straight into my quarter panel. so very weak.

at least he came inside to tell me he hit my car.

 

I just have to be extra careful when I drive the S ... trying to keep the car away from others' blind spot.

So ya ... our cars are tiny ninjas hahahahha

 

get an exhaust... they cant miss ya

 

Hmmm ... I'm not so sure if the tiny exhaust would help if I'm in a situation like this hahahaha:

 

or just pound the rave sounds =D
our cars aren't that small compared to smarts, miatas, lotus...etc

 

I have never had any problems with people not seeing me, and if I see a bike on the road I am extra cautious and try to know at all times where they are at so if they are in the lane by me I don't hit them . Although I wouldn't mind hitting a few of those harleys :\. If you're too much of a badass to wear a helmet, you're too much of a badass to be alive, the least you can do is offer your girlfriend riding behind you a helmet .

 

If I am traveling on a highway or interstate I keep my headlights on to draw attention. I had an 18 wheeler drive into me once because he didn't see me sitting next to him at a red light. I'm sitting there listening to Howard and the next thing I know I look to the left and see lug nuts sheering my door skin off. Fail.
