Default Kind of a weird question regarding TT's...

It may sound vain, but I like to be seen when I'm driving. How easily seen is the driver from other cars? I know the car atracts alot of attention when driving, but how much can others see of you in it, the side windows are pretty small?

Default The side window is horribly small and it's hard to be seen from outside

It's like there's noone drivin in there...The only angle you can be easily discerned is the front window.

People in roadsters with the top down are highly visible.

He probably refers to the coupe, or the roadster with the top up

"It MAY sound vain." How, pray tell, can you have any doubts?

Default Sorry, but if someone driving in their car sees you but not the large sheetmetal...

...<font color="003366"> box decorated with lights and moving relative to it's surroundings, you are in deep, deep s#!t. As in, it's only a matter of time before your gonna get nailed by their car.

Taking you analogy <u>at face value</u> would render every car with excessively dark titted windows functionally invisible.

The rear half of almost every SUV out there would simply vanish.</font>
