I used to live in a bad part of town in Dallas. One time when I was walking to the grocery store a car full of gang members drove slowly past. They were doing their best to look tough- heads bobbing, caps on crooked, lower lips protruding- but they were in a Yugo.
It was very hard to take them seriously.
