How about the rides? I heard it’s not really about Beamers and Benzos.
Nah, people really like old-ass cars and fixing up old cars. Like old Cadillacs, Fleetwoods, El Dorados, Sunbirds and shit. They lace them with gold spokes, white leather interiors.

That’s what we call candy paint, people put that kind of color on their car.
