    IMHO Chrome = increased reflection potential. Increased reflection = increased detection. Increased detection no bueno.

    That’s why I only carry cash. Paying cash helps me avoid detection. Detection is no bueno.

    Most people here are just going to Chili's and Costco, but they'll wear a tap out shirt so the cashier knows they're hard

    I will say this about the high waist- ties are so much easier that way. Try to guess the length of a tie when it has to reach the top of your pubes, and find a knot to match. And then try to keep that long fucker from landing in your soup at the lubys buffet. It's madness I tell ya!

    Black truck parts are to men what baby doll tops are to big women. It turns you into something you aren't.

    A vehicle doesn't "turn you into" anything. If you're a beta troll before you own that Nissan GTR or Ford Raptor.. you'll remain one afterwards regardless of trim finish.

    Please note: I'm not disparaging owners of those vehicles.. I'm jut pointing out this appears to be a clickbait troll thread devised to twist jimmies and increase clicks.
