^ I've heard that comment more than a few times (windshield header in the way).

I'm average height, and even I notice it blocks sight lines to traffic lights & signs more than any other car I've owned.

I'm debating whether to put the MPGiata on the road now that spring is finally here, or whether to drive the Firefly for a couple of months. The poor Flea hasn't been on the road since 2017.
