probably because the owners of these overpowered high end cars plow them into a curb every 25k miles.

is the US government supposed to take ownership of a portion of his amazon shares every time the price goes up?  do they give them back on dips?

the old guy said he knew his gun was missing but during the flashback it appears the kid brings it back the same night...or did i miss something there?
