Aerocoupes have appreciated past $10,000, haven’t they?

He’s a good friend and can hold his liquor on the semi-monthly occasion he comes out with us.

Turns out that Germany doesn’t like people who build cults of personality and disregard laws as a matter of company policy. I wonder why?

And vapid people on Instagram call themselves “influencers.” Doesn’t make it less cringey simply because it’s a popular term.

Bad obsession motorsport, especially the project binky series.
there’s 33 full 30+ minute videos of funk music, bracketry, and dry british humour, oh, and did I mention they stuffed all the contents of a celica GT4 into a mini? that should be enough to keep everyone entertained until the next episode drops in 18 months

This is really, really easy. Mighty Car Mods.

Yes, I’m sure the brilliant minds behind Hackers will get right on that legal case.
