I thought the badge 4x4 meant it was the biggest car you could buy and i still dont know exactly why cops pull you over when you have bold tires, when f1 cars do. But i know bold tires are bad for everyday life

🙈 well when I was very very young , I thought the cars are moving cause of the earth turning , so actually the cars where standing still and only the ground underneath them was moving faster or slower , I could never explain to myself how a junction worked though 🙈 ✌
