    I've seen you guys tow U-hauls, carry blocks of concrete, boxes of meat, fireworks and goodness knows what else cause I can't remember everything that's been posted on PC.


    What about this then?

    If that's the strip, I don't think it matters since you're really not going anywhere and it's almost a straight road all the way.

    I feel sorry for the small car suspension. I do not intend to abuse my Prius that way. If I have to haul that many chicks, I'd rather take a minivan for more comfort. :D

    No, it's much more comfortable being crowded when there are ladies involved.

    Yeah, but unfortunately every one of them, just like every one of us, is gay.
    Sorry. But I read it on the internet so it must be true.
