I really like it. And given my poor Miata was demolished by a tow truck last month, I’m in the market.

First Gear: Donald Trump really only cares about two things, money and having people give money to him. As such, you’d think he’d be trying to win over someone like Elmo, who just got $56ish billion richer, and who directly benefits from increased EV sales.

These symptoms are probably more to do with stress than the presence or absence of gravity.

17 people on board. 14 counts of kidnapping. 13 counts of aggravated assault. What gives?

Buy a Fiat or a mini or some shit. Sounds ridiculous but my brother that drives some massive lifted boulevard…

Well duh... They’re using them to spy on everyone, silly!
