It’s a pinecone! Come on, I even specifically put that picture near my important section about giant pinecone clearance! Haha Read more

Like FK would have a vehicle registered in her own name. Obviously it’s owned by a shell company that’s operated out of a dummy office in a foreign company and registered to an empty apartment elsewhere. Read more
