I've heard of an instance where a university team solar car was forced off the road due to rubbernecking. Ended up catching a culvert and flipping the solar car. Fortunately nobody was hurt.

EDIT: the comparison of your Civic to a solar car (in terms of aero optimization) isn't that much of a stretch either either.
