I thought for a second the Renegade didn’t too terrible with the flames, but thankfully I saw the Harley sticker and my opinion went right back to “nope”.

This gives me anxiety.

Porsche: “Well, the jerk store called, and they're running out of you."

Obligatory. Also wood framed hybrids, what a time to be alive.
