A 86 coupe with 5k into it will beat it.

Those cars were not impressive when they came out. So not so impressive now either. I would take a new 5.0 over that pile any day. But it is clean.

i think the rest of the front bumper is in the trunk, it's supposed to be installed by the dealer.

The seats remind me of my friend's, grandma's couch.

[Moose242]

lmfao. No it wouldn't.

Yes, it would.

I was an English minor in college. I knew it would come in handy it some point... even if that point is arguing with some douche on the internet.

Just to clarify, Im the yellow one.

Lol, I love you Harrison.

No, you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. That garage is hardly "rough". Now if that car was under a beat up carport in the middle of a junkyard your expression would be appropriate.


Oh, and my z06 would smoke that.

You got trolled, hard. Lol.

Meaning

Someone who is basically good hearted but lacking social graces and respect for the law.

This term is often used to describe people on the edge of the criminal fraternity who, while they may not commit serious crimes themselves, probably know people who do.

sid-jamesThe English comic actor, the late Sid James, typified the type on and off stage and was typecast in such roles. For example, he played Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond in the Ealing comedy Carry On Up The Khyber. That was quite appropriate for this phrase as it turns out - Sid James worked in a diamond mine in South Africa before becoming an actor.





Wait, wut?

It looks unlike a real carbon deposit that was exposed to high pressure and high temperature for prolonged periods of time in the rough coarse, cragged, craggy, harsh, ironbound, jagged, ragged, rugged, scabrous, uneven.
