Intimidation

This happened over summer, not really a kill, but I thought it was freaking hilarious.
I was sitting at a light, and up ahead the lanes merge. Guy pulls up next to me in the right lane (the one that merges) in a mid 90's Buick? (it was dark). I looked over at him and he looked at me. I gave him a smile, then he puts his car in reverse and pulls in my lane behind me. Sometimes when you have the power, you don't even have to use it. :smt025

Horsepower tells how fast you can hit a wall . . . Torque lets you move the wall.

The stoplight intimidation factor is the major part in cruising, I have a 82 camaro that looks fast and sounds good, but is only powered by a 305. It's very slow in reality, however cruising around it seems to put of the image that it's a quick ride. It's all part of the stoplight game, make them wonder if you got something hot under the hood or not.


However,
In the street race money scene of years ago, the last thing I wanted was to have an intimdating look car that people would want to assume was fast. I wanted to make it look as slow as possible to get races.
