Jeager was not doing it wrong, he was done doing it. Real men throw in the towel and quit, idiots keep on attempting projects.

I have no idea why it looks like my hair is thinning in that pic but it is not. I’m more worried about my hair appearing to be thinning then the car being towed away and the $x,xxx I lost on it.
