God made an accelerator pedal for a reason.
I was driving through a bad part of town one time, when 2 gangs appeared out of nowhere from both sides of the street.
I floored it and watched guys go flying in both directions. I didn't have any dings, but I wasn't worried about that anyway.
And if all else fails a Glock 10mm is your friend.
My thoughts exactly when I read this. I am going to recall this for future reference (& use), that if I am ever in a similar situation, the strategy is.... FLOOR IT & DON'T WORRY ABOUT ANY THUMPS YOU MIGHT HEAR! I would rather have the odds of my SUV vehicle against 15 thugs on foot. The odds cease however if you stop & try to reason with young racist (black or white or any color) thugs to "would you so kindly move? You're blocking my vehicle!" Just floor it and watch them scatter!
