No PS cheating here. I think someone will make a correct guess.

Wow ... 140km/h with the handbrake on ... that's gotta do some damage.

Anyway I like this capture. Very good. Love it when people see shots in everday object we do see all the time.

Well done.

Well, there are some cars, which checks the entire electric system when you put the key into the "electric-on" position. All the needles and lights on the dashboard touch their extrame and return back. In this case it was the Pontaic's Grand-Prix.
