Ever thought about "catching" a red light?

Great story In my manual Ford Explorer Sport, I could make the car "lurch" forward in a way that made it look like the car is about to jump out

Great story In my manual Ford Explorer Sport, I could make the car "lurch" forward in a way that made it look like the car is about to jump out into the intersection, yet done properly, the tires make a nice loud squeal and only move about 3 ft forward. It's amazing how many times I would "lurch" at the line when someone runs a red light, and see them staring back at me with eyes as big as dinner plates while I'm grinning ear to ear

In Austin, people are habitually running yellow and red lights - it's unreal how often I see it. However, I don't do stuff like this in the Z... I guess partly because of my infatuation with the Z and partly because I'm getting old enough now to realize that it's not worth it. Most of the people who even noticed the lurching action probably just got pissed about it, which may have made their driving even worse. My actions in my car simply do not influence other people's driving ability.
