My experiences have much bearing as yours, like it or not, so get off your high horse. You don’t know shit.

2 and a life-long Ohio resident (Cleveland area), and at least a million miles of driving since I got my license back in ‘79. And guess what? I’ve never seen a vehicle lose a wheel. Three times a month? Now who’s talking out of their ass?

I live alone so I don’t have a land line, so I guess my flip phone is a “need”.

Hold our government accountable? How quaint...

Fuck Virginia. You couldn’t pay me to live in that police state.

Happens more than you think, at least around here (n.e. Ohio).

Pics or you ain’t hawt!!!

I still have a flip phone... now get off my lawn!
