I was talking about the 4Runner!

As soon as the weather starts to break in NYC mobs of illegal dirt bike riding assholes start rampaging through the streets. The ride in such great numbers that the NYPD just does nothing. A couple of summers ago these fuckers were tearing ass down my street the wrong way and riding on the sidewalks. I had to yank…

On my way to the comment section!

Can’t wait until all the money generated by this just sort of disappears into Albany coffers and the subway remains fucked.

bubble wrap entire world.

Unpopular opinion incoming:

The new Supra: All the excitement of a Toyota, now with the reliability of a BMW!

Um... the shadow is of a 1st Gen Bronco.
