Yeah, Cam hadn't really expected Adam to agree with that, and it didn't feel great to know that someone more experienced with Caido also suspected that it would kill Cam quickly. But they weren't about to argue, were they? So they moved on to lighter topics:: namely, theft.
"That's ... I don't think that would work. It's pretty dangerous to run one car into another -- you'd probably get hurt in the crash, even if the other car was hurt worse. They go at like 70 miles per hour, on the highway. Crashes kill people all the time." Cam didn't want to totally shoot down Adam's idea, so they added, "There are demolition derbies, I think, or there used to be -- events where people crash cars into each other and try to be the last car still moving. But that's at lower speeds, and they're still dangerous. And it's, you know, a sport, not a way of stealing things."
They didn't mention that all they knew about those came from one old mystery novel they'd read as a kid, so they weren't exactly an authority on the subject.
"Prison breaks are really uncommon now, too," they said, trying not to look too impressed by Adam's hardened criminal past. "Because of all the security cameras, I guess."
