Yes, temporarily, but Boonchop probably had a first class insurance and will get a new "killing machine". Can't change stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexlowe Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 39 minutes ago, worgeordie said: I Don't suppose they never bothered to breathalyse him, regard sworgeordie Counter-productive, for the following reasons: - he will no longer have a pickup and his value as a human being will be diminished in the eyes of his friends and family. - his insurance claim will be invalidated and he won't be able to buy a new vehicle, thereby affecting local trade. - without any money, he won't be able to pay off the cops. - being unable to drive, he can no longer contribute to the policeman's ball on a regular basis. - he will no longer be able to drive to his regular watering hole with 15 workers in the back. So, it's better that he isn't breathalysed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can certainly recommend said upgrade, my gas mileage has near doubled since installation of amulets, ride also seems firmer yet more comfortable!

Frankly, I suggest a full revamp of the dash. Get a full shrine installed, half a dozen jolly friars, a few small Buddhas and some flowers, plus a nodding dog. You should be able to see where you're going after that upgrade and most of all, you'll be quite safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
