crownroyal Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 I went driving last night (Saturday) on Sunset to show my girlfriend around Hollywood. What the hell!? I swear I saw at LEAST 10 cars showing off their tvs in their headrest (no one even in the backseat), one even had GTA III on to show everyone he had a Playstation II in it. It was reminiscent of Crenshaw from back when I was in Jr. High. I haven't seen flossin' on this level in my life. Also, how in the hell did everyone and their momma get a BMW/Mercedes/Navigator/Escalade/Hummer? Did they just give them away while I was gone? Damn I missed out!

lalate Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 oh God dont let us get started on this topic lol. You are SO RIGHT. Our friends are ALWAYS taking about this thing.This thing --- with young males (18-24) driving tripped out suv's (not the cheap ones) with their bros in the driver's seat (only about 4% of the time with a girl with em) with the video in the head rest and the $$$ rimms up and down the sunset strip -- has been going on AT LEAST since early 2002. The guys are NEVER over early 20s.Here our some "theories", aka, speculation as to what is maybe going on ---a) GM leases. Not kiddin. You generally see this thing in the GM trucks. GM currently has a lease for practically nothing down and no payments for many months. They arent going to the clubs.If you go out a lot you will see nice cars at the clubs in the vip valet, but not these cars. You basically see an average mix of cars --- not all this tripped out SUVs. These aren't club owners, aren't promoters, and you don't see people leaving clubs getting into these cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalate Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 oops forgot one more (actually, not speculation but true):© For business owners, under the Bush adminstration, certain larger SUVs have a big tax deduction. Just do a word search on google for Bush + H2 Hummer + tax deduction and you'll see the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
