wow, and it wasnt even a toyota
Man theres an entrance gate a lil bit down if you want in that bad. If you need the code you could just ask the ofice. And they offer covered parking for 15 dolla you aint gotta make ya own.
Alright y'all, lets be cool here. The driver didn't mean to pin that man in his own house. He just had a cafeen attack and lost control of his vehicle thats all. He needed to go to the convenicnce store and get his coffee. We just need to let him go with the rest of the scum and pat him on the back for not killing the poor guy that was at home not bothering anyone.
