Are you sure the European numbers are computed using the same gallons?

The guy with more hair gel and jewelry than my Aunt Frances used to wear and a scarf I'm pretty sure I saw while attempting to masturbate to a Forever 21 catalog.

Just look at that ad up there. The Dodge Corporate Stalker's rules are here carried out by the Dodge Law team, composed of a sub-Muppet monkey and a sophisticated anthropomorphized STD named Richard Rawlings. In this particular example, they pull the Charger driver owner (who did spring for the Scat Pack) over for the…

I have a slightly relevant story about the time a guy in High School broke a kids jaw and induced a seizure after his head hit the ground... because he cut him in line for lunch.
