Or (yes childish this one and rare that I would, honest! But I bet most of us have done it at some point!) sitting at a set of lights and looking straight ahead acting like you`re not bothered/interested in the fact that the powerflow exhaust wielding corsa b next to you is revving his engine and riding the clutch, ignore, ignore, then smoke him off still looking straight on like you never noticed he was there. :lol:

When you never get bored of the confused looks people give you as you load your shopping into the frunk.
