I don't see how the post can help. It only reminds those affected of what they will be MISSING if they don't get there car. | |

Sure the post can help - because a few videos down you will find a scantily clad woman washing a car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banana.gif[/img]
Somehow though, they inevidably look more awkward then sensual, but awe hell, either way there's little clothing and lots of moisture... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] | |

The GT ran 10.48, that is haulin A$$. Looks like it had some nice sticky tires on the back too. Did look awkward, but it moves. Put a smile on my face [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

He (The MKII) should put a brick on the gas pedal, then jump out of the car to take a bow, then get run over by his own car...oops, that trick has been done before...
Still one of my fav's, Been posted before... Driftin' Gone Bad

Then there's also the asshat who sat on the hood of his pickup after climbing out of the cab, and jumped off right before hitting a pole... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loser1.gif[/img] (don't have a link)
That was a GREAT clown pic! Thanks... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] | |
