I think by this point if you can only get screentime on OAN, you’re probably absolutely on the wrong side of whatever issue you’re involved in.

“Why should a salesman go out on a limb for a customer?”

Unpopular opinion... that price needs to drop a zero.

At least the whitewall situation is easy and (relatively) inexpensive to fix. You don’t really know what’s hiding under that wrap.

One of the scarier things I’ve done. Reason why it was scary was because it was the track manager’s favorite (but it was the one my team needed),…
