or drive another car. LOL

Its not like they have ANY way to tell you what car(s) you can or cant drive.

Or ride a motorcycle. You can start most bikes with a pocket full of allen keys, a philips head and half a brain. Even if they tried to put a big goofy lock on the bike, and there isnt anywhere to put a camera.

I want to be the head of The United States of Bandaid’ Ideas board. It seems like such a simple job, and even if your idea sucks ass they will still use it.
