You would not believe what just happened. I was told to go to the hospital to get another x-ray on my leg. Turns out the lady in the room next to me was giving birth. I went over there to help and as soon as the baby popped out, I punched it in the face. ---

i wish this thread went on forever hilarious. can someone honestly - and i mean this in entire sincerity - explain to me why people do this to their cars? like, why would i want to go buy stretched tires for my M3. why would i want to put luggage on the roof? hell, how do these guys even RUST their hoods like that? i understand VW is manufactured in mexico but fuck, that’s a lot of rust someone PLEASE explain to me why this is done? these people make payments on these cars for like 5 years - and they take the hood off and sand it down because it looks cool?! and please dont give me the conformity thing, like having paint on my car is conforming or something, i really want to know the thought process that goes in taking the hood off a 2008 car and sanding it down so it rusts. or nailing a 1970s sears suitcase through the roof of a car. ---

I understand that stretching the tires is something that originated in the German scene bc of some weird Nazi law. The rust and hillbilly roof rack are beyond my comprehension.
