The driver seemed unconcerned and was driving at his leisure.

I have seen something like that once before, but it was a female driver. The engine had over heated in traffic and she keep it on and windows up on that new Lexus and even with it knocking and clattering she ignored people trying to warn here (including me) and then it finally locked up and puked it guts. The supprised look on her face was worth a hot day in a traffic jam on my motorcycle.
