lifted_truck

There’s a particular kind of guy in America who looks at a perfectly functional pickup truck and thinks, You know what this needs? Another eighteen inches between me and the ground.

And so begins the transformation. The suspension gets lifted. The tires become the size of industrial washing machines. The exhaust is modified to sound like an angry rhinoceros having a medical emergency. Somewhere along the way, a $65,000 vehicle becomes an $85,000 declaration that its owner is not to be fucked with.

Why Watching a Two-Hour Movie Now Feels Like a Commitment

struggle to watch movie

“I Hate My Wife’s Breast Reduction”

reduction

I absolutely hate my wife’s breast reduction.
