That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


Looks like most of the bro trucks I see in Phoenix but too much grass in the background which means Teh Has.

That's a second gen ram. Those wheels are $7-8000 a set and cheap tires for them are $1800 a set.

That means the wheels/tires are worth twice what the truck is.

It’s been like that since February? That’s rough, man.

Since Sept 13th - broke my wrist (plus sprained just about everything possible in my hand and forearm). I hosed up my rotator cuff several months ago, that's as recovered as it's gonna get without surgery - that's probably what you're thinking of?

I saw a Yugo in traffic a couple days back, but didn't get a picture. I did spot this thing not very far from the same spot today.







It looked exactly as well made as you'd expect.

I really don't get this look but I see it all the loving time here in Austin.

The trucks are a big enough pain in the rear end to drive around and park stock, then they go and stick wide rims and spacers on there to make the tire protrude out. They they run the tires nearly bald since the rims only mount expensive low profile tires.

Unless I missed the joke about Cnevrovers being better put together than Range Rovers, I didn't mean to say this was the Yugo.

Someone keeping a Yugo alive and driveable in 2021 counts as awesome, if questionable, and I will take a photo next time I see one.

If this was a 2 door it would own quite hard being a tiny rip-off of a Land Rover. More tiny cars please, industry, fuckers are driving round on their lonesome 99% of the time anyway creating all this traffic.

Nah the Panda has the small third window in the c pillar. Its probably one of the weird tiny two stroke "cars" you occasionally see around europe that can only go like 30 km/h and can be driven with a motorcycle license.

It's incredibly difficult to get a license plate in China if it's not a hybrid/EV so that's probably why. Everyone that I know that lives there has a hybrid/EV.
