When Im 70 V8s won't exist anymore so instead I think I'll be sitting in my garage tinkering with the flux capacitor on my electric car trying to coax another 20,000amps of power from the engine

a few months ago, i saw a white WRX with real dark tint come flying up the road, he flung it through the roundabout then into the shopping center carpark.. where he flicked it into the parking space. then, he took a few secconds to get out. but out emerged a frail 70 year old with his walking frame,

i thought to myself, how cool...
