Well, he was just off my rear bumper as we came down the hill and we just broke 60mph. My wing came up. I downshifted as we approached the stop (Magnaflow exhaust singing its delightful song) and, as we got to the light it, the wing retracted.
We stopped at the light and he looked over but just shook his head and shrugged his shoulders. He only eased away as the light went green.
I couldn't help but wonder if the sound of the exhaust and the sight of the wing intimidated him, but I thought it was funny.
Just proves the point that many, including Jeremy Jackson, have no idea what this car really is.
It is a blast to explain it to them, as you and Bat did, in street language.
