> its always funny when suburban kids tell their stories of the big bad scary city. don’t you know you typically don’t get smoked unless a) you owe money. b) fucked someones girl/wife. c) got tough with the wrong person. d) snithched, or e) showed off too much in the wrong area. what i’m tryin to say is most of the people that get shot/killed are perpatraitors of crime themselves

True…but I’d still say my chances of getting randomly shot, mugged, or beat to a pulp by a bat rose dramatically when my old 1996 Black 328is (with aftermarket rims) broke down (water pump failed) in the South Side of Chicago at 10:00pm on a warm July night in 2000…that was not fun…especially when I pulled into a gas station and immediately was greeted by some boys of the neighborhood. At that point, I said F\*ck my car’s engine…I’m outta here.
