    Not a chance and I'm not willing to sit there and be crippled for life. It's like saying I can not defend myself from an assault. When someone decides to threaten your life you have a right to stop that assault. Their rationale for the assault is irrelevant.

    Do you just keep driving into a head on collision because the idiot who is coming into your lane MIGHT swerve at the last second.

    I had been rear-ended at low speed ~25 years ago, and neck was stiff for a few weeks.

    Could we have the link to these light modulators? Thanks!

    My cousin had recently bought a Scion iA aka Mazda 2 sedan. It has a 104hp 4 cyl. and we were both diving down the freeway, (me in my mirage) we were both in last gear and flooring it doing around 90-100 and the iA almost had a hard time keeping up! Explained to him that even though your iA / Mazda2 has 30 more hp it also weighs around 450 pounds more than the Mirage not including the driver.

    cannot recommend it yet this is the cheapest. There are many others like this. It will be wired to high one only

    IMHO it has more to do with gearing. Top gear on Mirage is pretty low and car accelerates alot better than say Civic at highway speeds
