Yeah, I've found an older car with a few scrapes and dings greatly ups the intimidation factor.

That's one of the reasons I never wash my car.

1. The layers of grime protect the paint.

2. People assume shiny cars are afraid of dings.

Goes back to something I learned early as a newspaper photographer shooting hostile folks: you can bluff folks who have something to lose.

What you want to avoid are poor folks who have lots of scars. They aren't afraid of being sued and they have found that you can be hurt and survive. THOSE folks you take seriously.

Watching this would be fun Think about it, having an insurance agent determine which dents were old ones and which ones were new ones (if they are all in similar locations), you could wind up w/a totally "new" car.

I love it. I like how the perspective gets more distant with each panel.

Quite the handle, too. If my name were Krupkin, I'd definitely be a traffic officer.
