Got in a friend's large pickup truck that was raised a little bit. The Boxster is so low that unless I'm looking for it, or using the side mirrors well, I would totally not see it if I glanced over my shoulder quickly to see if there are any cars.

Now I find myself accelerating past big pickups and 18 wheelers rather driving alongside of them. Maybe I'm being too risk-averse, but I was surprised at how invisible the car was when I was in the truck.
