I have had my BDR for ten years and attribute my survival to having ridden motorcycles for more than thirty years before quitting and getting one with four wheels. Every time I go for a drive I realize that I am as vulnerable on the road as I was when I was riding a bike. My full attention is on what I am doing and the environment I am in. Both hands are on the steering wheel and my eyes look for potential jeopardy to my safety especially when I think that another driver doesn't seem to see my car. I value the fact that I survived all those years on motorcycles so that I can drive my BDR in my golden years and want to continue to do so for the rest of my natural life. It is true that this car demands your full attention and awareness in order to maintain control. If you prefer to drive with one arm hanging outside of the door I think it looks pretty cool when driving a pickup but not so in one of these cars.
