Maybe that's the reason no one ever gives me a problem in my multi tone 109
with military bumperettes that sit at most sedan drivers eye height. People
just seem to give me space and I don't even have to brandish any lethal
weapons like a turn signal. Got even more respect in my twice rolled, naked
88 riding on parabolics and 235/85/16s.

The other solution lies in the junker look, or what I refer to as the
railroad tie bumper effect: If you drive a junker or have railroad ties
bolted on for bumpers, just merge. They'll get out
