And that’s my only worry with a Miata. Everyone is so tall these days, and those can get lost.

Thats why every Miata needs a muffler delete. #LoudPipesSaveLifes

I’m planning on running a dune buggy style flag on the small car I’m building, even though I’ll probably never drive it on the dunes.

How high is that camera mounted in relation to your eye level, or the rearview mirror?

So, you want Miatas to become a menace to people’s ears until they become shunned or outlawed and then no one is at risk anymore. Could work. :p

Well then fly something interesting, like an Oppo flag.

I am acutely aware when driving my Spider that when I stop behind someone driving anything taller than a new Taurus, they can’t see me.

Its on top of the back seat

With the rake of the truck and angle of the rearview and my eyes I barely saw the top of the car either.

1/3 of my rearview is taken up by the camera, the headrests, and the tailgate.

All small cars shall now be required to carry flags when driving near large modern vehicles.

Or just have a really loud horn.

That’s not a bad idea...

Could always go racoon or fox tail, but that’s more old school hot rod style.

I’d rotate depending on my mood.

You’re full of great ideas.

And I don’t even charge for them. How crazy is that?

You need to monetize your skills! Maybe write a “Ask Chariotoflove” column for Jalopnik?

That’s brilliant! I’ve always wanted to be an internet busybody/know-it-all. I could be the greatest troll the FP ever had.
