way back when, i used to get my drinking money for free, you must know your targets however. i would find a dude with bragging rights and challenge him to a street hop. after smoking him, i would say double or nothing and i will let you switch the spark plug wires, WHOO-HOO, drinking tonight!
machine is more valuable to me with what is inside, same as a woman. a brick out house woman is just that, beauty on the outside, but the insides, not so much.
Words of wisdom. I often levitate to function over fashion too; there is a different kind of beauty there...
I have never been much on power and performance though; the tortoise and the hair. Chrome doesn't get you home and speed kills.
