I like how he sounds like he's not sure if it could be gravity or not.

Yes!! That’s it… the drivers of other vehicles are actually SO obese that their cars are literally not powerful enough to propel their great density to greater altitude.

Gravity -- it sucks. Literally. It's physics.

Sorry Davey, i think Bad is technically right.
But also... neither of you are talking about cars.

No, the rhetorical question was obviously "Maybe it was a rhetorical question?"

My Car Is Sexy As $%@!
Coming back from Publix, I saw a white Z and a slammed red BRZ parked next to each other outside the complex... Owners looked middle eastern/asian...

when i got home in the MT i stopped outsdie ran inside to open the garage then came back out. let's say i kept rolling backwards and stalling more than i'd like to count.

my parents thought i may have went for a drive again... no it was only 30 minutes of trying to get a hill start on my driveway.

apparently my launch or stall technique wasn't practical to creep into a garage!
