CHP might get me, but maybe not if I mark the tail somehow... a long thin strip of reflective orange tape? I just estimated a couple forms that I might build. One extends straight out by 28 inches from the plane and angle of the trunk (not gonna do that). One extends 24 inches at a very modest angle from the trunk (might try that). The last picks a stronger angle and extends 35 inches from the rear window, across the trunk and 20 inches further. I'm gonna have to build one of em... I'll figure that out later...

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
