    I drive a little ol beetle and being next to those behemoths and trying to see around them is… scary.

      My boss just bought a brand new Tacoma and sitting on my FZ6R or Shadow in the parking space next to it I literally cannot see over his door sills.

      I parked my 90’s Silverado nose-to-nose with his truck the other day and the top of my hood is like 18" lower than his, despite my truck having more ground clearance, a bigger engine, and a larger bed. It’s baffling.

        I just got a used Takoma and I hate the hood hieght for exactly this reason. I don’t need to feel tall, I need to SEE things in front of me.
