Traffic behaves differently. When I drove my old Capri which was ratty, rusty, and sporting black steel aero knockoffs(way before it was a "look") I was like a leper, I was given plenty of space. Merging was a breeze. I never had the guts to get the "no insurance" windshield sticker as I didnt even get it inspected the last 3-4 years of its life (cheaper to pay a ticket every year or two than fix emmisions). Got a new truck with paper tags and it was like I had static cling. Bastards!!!

Worst was a mercury tracer wagon. NOBODY liked being passed by that, and they would speed back up on me left and right. It was sooooo gutless I couldn't fight back. Cheap family car when I had to have cheap to survive.

Drove an older 1 ton work diesel for a while. It was the old body style Ford in plain white rapper that rattled and clattered like a spray can. Driving that in traffic I felt like Moses parting the seas. Nobody wanted that beast on their bumper or even close by.

Mustang is DD so all is cool. Get some respect, and if a spot is there, acceleration is so effortless, quick, and easy. They don't have time to react. Of course I'd prefer a giant safety bubble of space that simply isn't available in the city.
