That is dope as hell.

That's awesome, though I wish there was some more info on the car.

Also the name "Cheeseborough" is now officially the coolest name ever.

Huh? Here's what he actually said:

Quote:

"They're making billions upon billions of dollars," he says. "And when this car sells, that'll go down — to low billions upon billions."

He was actually making a joke about how rediculously rich the oil companies are.

He's getting straight A's so he's definately passing English. I'd say he's pretty easy to understand for an innercity X-Gang Member.

Geez. its not like he told the entire country he is going to help them "put Food on their families" or something like that
