Ever notice how tiny our cars are? - Page 3

I lost mine in a parking garage the other day. I parked behind a honda accord and I honestly got really confused/scared for a second that it was gone.

BlackMoupe · 02-16-2012, 09:34 PM

Why I decided to park here, no idea.

If a Z4MC had feelings, it would be scared for its life.

This thread is turning into "What's the weirdest place you've spotted a Z4M?"

I like it

....or the beloved Roadster -

I could only imagine driving a Lotus around. It's weird enough to be driving on the freeway with the windows down only to look over and be eye level with the wheels of an SUV!

We definitely have one of the smaller cars on the road...

Or eye level with every truck's and SUV's headlights....that got old really quick!

The fact that they are small makes detailing a bit easier/faster. I waxed my Chevy 2500HD the other day for the first time in ages and it sucked. Had to get a ladder and I'm 6'1.

But honestly these cars look so good when someone sees one, the last thing they see is its stature. They just want a ride.

That gives us a fine perspective. WOW

I drove Miata's for 12 years. On a crowded 3 lane (or more ) highway the only time I felt safe was when I was passing/weaving through other cars. Consequently, I didn't keep to the highways (just as well). Hard to beat a Miata on back roads for fun!.

And that's a equinox on the right, correct...a "compact" SUV.

Finnegan · 02-22-2012, 11:58 AM

^ Indeed. And excellent choice in parking spots! That's one of the best you can get (aside from a single car spot).

Gtfour · 05-09-2012, 10:42 PM

It looks small between a Nissan Versa and a VW New Beetle lol

LOL, and hope you don't mind me stealing your photo but definitely thread relevant!

ftlaudm3 · 05-10-2012, 04:48 PM

Great thread....Since my car is lowered I can't see it in a parking lot until I am 1 or max 2 cars away. Every time I freak that someone stole my car for a second. I hate when a truck gets behind me at a light. I get blinded by the side mirrors. In length department the car isn't that small, but compared to any SUV or truck it is like a go kart.
