the other side of the coin to that is the Shock and Awe approach

i used to have a TVR Cerbera

i used to love chatting to guys in the pub-- the subject of cars would come up
some guy would ramble on about his saxo VTR rinsing blah blah, i could mention i had a supercar but i didn't-- i would just let him go on about it
sometimes just sometimes at the end of the night you would both walk into the carpark when you are leaving- he would get in his saxo and you would get in your supercar.
these are priceless moments of WTF
sometimes not saying anything is making the biggest statement of all!
