i always drive with my headlights on. small and low car in silver on the freeway is invisible.

 

doesnt matter if they see me or not. i can see them and i can see them coming into my lane. then i can take evasive maneuvers.
i can't control their ignorance but i can keep myself out of trouble with them

 

well i got a T1R 70mm RT. Chances are theyll hear me.

If not, i drive on my own lane and if they hit me, thats my excuse to buy wider fenders

 

NFR color + T1R 70R dual sparrow = no way they don't see me unless they are both blind and deaf.

 

Yea the S is a Tiny car.
My car got backup into by a FAT girl driving a RED Corrolla and HIT & RUN.
Yes...I was in the car. BUT I WAS SOOO SHOCKED!!!! that I can't do a thing.

That FAT B*tch got away.

 

loud exhaust is the solution

 

ive got once of the loudest exhausts ive ever heard on a 4 banger "invidia" you can hear me a mile a way but those lifted trucks/suvs have almost run me off the road almost a dozen times at least in the 5 months i have owned tha car

 

That's why I am glad I live in SF bay area. There are not many sorry a$$ lifted pick up trucks and suvs around here. There are some but not as many as other parts of the country...

 

I keep a flare gun in the car, I've used it a couple of times when soccer moms are in their Tahoes on their cell phones sending a check message while they check their kid's myspace and grades via email and decide to change lanes.


On a serious note, the cute feminine horn they equipped us with simply does not cut it. I feel like people just think I'm trying to be funny. We need to replace it with something that makes people shit bricks.

 

Having a bright color certainly helps. I have far fewer people pull out in front of me with the Rio S than I do with my black Subie.

Of course, that didn't help me at all on the drive in to work today. One woman pulled out in front of me in a SUV (then proceeded to drive 10mph under the limit), and I had another idiot completely disregard a stop sign, then change right into my lane about 5 feet in front of me (not even bothering to signal, of course).
