Add-on pseudo SUV kit

In the arms race of tall vehicles, the SUV has become the fashionable alternative to the lifted off-road truck.

Of course some love it, and some hate it. But driving one does have the benefit of allowing you to see over the person's car in front of you.

Of course, the poor devil behind you can only see your license plate and rear window, but that's their problem.

I do not wish to endure the truck-like ride of the SUV, nor am I all that thrilled about parking the damn thing.

But with the aftermarket alternative, you can get all the benefits without the footprint.

A camera pylon similar to that of the Google Street View vehicle is attached to your car's roof. LCDs replace your windows and mirrors.

The view from three foot above the roof of your car is piped to the internal displays, simulating what you would see if you were really driving an SUV.

You retain the good fuel mileage and ease of parking of your average sized car, having only to make the mental adjustment for the illusionary height.
