Maybe the driver shared my distaste for the front end styling and tried to modify it.

Maybe they tried building a sea wall with wrecks. ;D

Puttin’ the shag in shaggin’ wagon.

Forget the money for a moment. How do you want to spend the limited hours of your life?

If they used Audis would they put four small speakers in the grill?

Oh, mighty global petroleum businesses, more than a century old, run by highly paid brilliant minds that we should all revere and emulate, yet a couple of months of trouble and their house of cards collapses.
