Man, you nailed it with this comment. I too love small cars and roadsters. I was so "picked" on in my last Miata ND, Fiesta ST and even my 2018 GTI, I traded the GTI for a Double Cab Silverado a couple of months ago. What a difference- I am no longer tail gated, cut off or almost run over by SUV's and trucks. It must be a size thing as I don't get this issue nearly as much with the Camaro. I have to keep one performance car in the fleet and the Camaro is it.

Well I hope you are that 10%, LOL. I feel like guys with a sports car would be more considerate in a pickup.
But man, I have lost count of how many bad pickup truck drivers I have encountered. Let's not also not forget those "rolling coal" small-you-know-what idiots.
When I visited Japan I really wanted to try a Miata. Didn't work out. As I have mentioned, Europe and Japan are the kind of places where I would own a Miata.

If the Camaro doesn't exist, this is my list:
- Used C7(actually already had one, albeit briefly)
- Buillt/Mustang PP1
- 370Z
Still not looking at a Type R(ice). And some dealers treat it like some kind of treasure and refuse test drives. At the end of the day it's still a Civic. A very nice one, but still a Civic. Doesn't have the same ring as a Camaro.
