Seems like at least once a month, some one cuts over on me like they don't even see my little red car.
It's mostly big SUVs, but sometimes even regular cars.
Is the xD that hard to see ???

 

its happened to me before too. guy literally ran me off the road and i had to pass him on the shoulder. loud exhaust and HIDs solve this however lol

 

So true. ^

I have tsudo mid pipe with TRD Axle Back, rarley got cutoff.


I've been stock for little while now and my HIDs are shot so i have barley any light and I get cutoff 24/7 now ____es me the F off. They come SO close to sideswiping me at 75+ on the freeway. It happens everyday on the way home from work.


Seriously, just get a loud train horn.

 

The xD is not difficult to see, it's just that most people nowadays drive distacted and/or suck with basic skills:

-fail to checking mirrors: rear & sides
-follow so close that they can't see in front of them
-want to make quick lane changes in the rain/snow like it's dry pavement
-can't reverse (ever go to a bank and watch two minivans back out of spots?)
-failed simple physics (in HS) and want to CUT off a tractor trailer with their motorcycle

I'm not telling anyone how to drive, but defensively is the cheapest option.

 

I get that in my XB. Its not the car, people are getting more selfish, and less concerned with their surroundings, not just while driving either.

 

Haha, that reminds me, one of the cars that I recently got cut off by was an xB !!

I guess it is the drivers. I just seem to be noticing it more in my xD though.

 

x2 on driving defensively.


expect all other drivers to be crazy

 

Hella Supertones for the win. If they don't see me, they hear the little red wonders hiding behind the grill.

 

some upgraded horns are definitely on my list of future upgrades, i drove a tacoma before my xd and it does seem that ppl dont see me as well... i just installed a new exhaust yesterday so maybe that'll help...

 

That's the way to do it.. Make it a game... The game is not to get hit..
assume everyone out there is a moron out to get you...

 

i had no trouble back when i had green tc wheels

 

Very true.

 

Try riding a motorcycle. Yesterday I nearly dumped my bike trying to stop because a woman in an excursion turned left onto the road I was trying to turn right onto(I had a green light, she did NOT have the right of way). She didn't even see me, or notice me after I screamed at her and revved my bike to get her attention....she was too busy on her Iphone....... :facepalm:
