Yes, both cars are front-wheel drive so unless the owners set the parking brake the rear wheels will roll freely. 3 friends and I once picked up the front wheels of an old Ford Fiesta and walked it down the road like a wheelbarrow. We hid it in the woods and my buddy could not figure out how we moved his locked car.

Yes, but that is the real world....selling the same old stuff but with a different spin.
His custom products are quality afaik, and I haven't heard of angry crowds of unhappy customers unlike the red fans.
Some are not to my taste but I still respect a pcar aficionado.

She must be flatchested and anorexic to fit under a GT3 that isn't jacked up.
I smell a photoshop.
