I once got stuck behind a Lamborghini on a mountain road, it was too wide to get past any other cars.


I used to have a Lotus Elise. With cars that low you don’t see much if there is just some grass growing along the road. Makes it really hard to pass other cars or go fast with no visibility.


Every time I'm in my low sports car: "I can't see through this damn SUV in front of me."

Every time I'm in my SUV: "I can't see through this damn SUV in front of me."


This 10x when driving in Brooklyn(or similar big city). I used to think smaller would be less stressful but since I got rid of my truck and have been renting small zipcars its much harder to see around SUVs and delivery trucks. Its harder not only to predict the flow of traffic but also to see pedestrians or cyclists who may be obstructed from your vision. I’ve always been a car person but thinking my next one will be an SUV to compete in this stupid arms race.


Yeah, but then you take a corner at 4 times the recommended speed, and it's all worth it...

Got a chance to take an Elise around some good roads. What a blast.


Nah, those cars are too competent. Taking a corner at 4x the recommended speed in an e-Golf, or Crown Vic, is a blast.
