Twilight- The Switch Of Daylight- Chapter One, Birthday Wishes
(Alice X Reader X Jasper)
Tumblr media
[One] [Two]
Charlie and I are downstairs, getting the gifts ready right before we make our way up to go wake up Bella.
Or she’s already up we just need to give her these presents. Charlie goes up first with me behind him excited. He knocks on the door once and then enters. “Happy Birthday, Bells.” He says. “Dad, [Name] we agreed no gifts.” She tells us and I roll my eyes. “At least mines is not wrapped.” He hands her a digital camera, “Okay, this is actually kind of great. Thanks, Dad.” She grinned at it, Charlie then gives her another gift, this time it was wrapped.
“Goes with this one, from your mom. We coordinated- well, she coordinated me.” He explains and I smirk as I did hear all their phone calls. “Mines not a part of it.” I hand her mine, “Don’t open it yet.” She nods and places it next to her. She opens the gift from Mom, it’s a scrapbook. “To put your pictures in, record your senior year.” He says then pauses as he thinks for a moment. “Man, senior year. How’d you get old so fast.” He teases her. “Not that old,” Bella mutters. 
“I don’t know, is that a wrinkle.” He jokes but Bella freaks out, racing over to her mirror, searching for the wrinkle. “I was kidding.” He huffs. “So not funny Dad.” She grunts.
Charlie makes his leave and I close the door behind him. “Open my gift.” I grin. “[Name]-” “I don’t want to hear it.” I cut her off, shoving the gift in her arms. I patiently wait as she opens it. There lay two silver bracelets in a box. Had two charms each on both, hers having a dark blue gem then a plate that had the words “Love you, always” engraved into it. Mine had a red gem with the same saying. She smiles and then pulls me into a hug. “I keep forgetting how cold you are now.” She laughs, stepping back and we put the bracelets on one another. “I love it, thank you.” She jingles it around and I snicker, doing it back. 
“I’m glad because I had no idea what to give you. But I wanted to piss you off with a gift.” I winked, and before she could say anything back I was already out the door. 
I rode my motorcycle to school, I had told Angela that I’d give her this book I owned but I kept forgetting. Pulling into the school Angela’s already jogging over to me. “You brought it?” I then let my face drop jokingly, she doesn’t know I’m joking though. “It’s okay if you forgot again-” I cut her off with my own laughter, pulling out the book from my backpack. She sighs and chuckles too, taking the book from me. “I had to.” I bump her and then stand up from my bike. Taking off my helmet and placing it on the bike. I turn back to her with a smile, fixing my hair as well. 
“I miss your septum.” She suddenly says and I raise a brow. She starts to stammer as I patiently wait for her to let it out. “I mean, I didn’t actually mean to say that out loud it’s just um, you got rid of it out of nowhere it was a part of you and now it’s like an empty... Space.” I cross my arms, kind of agreeing with her. “I guess that’s true.” I shrug. I walk her to the others but not even within minutes Bella comes and they rush over to her truck like a flock of geese.
I watch as Bella forces them to take pictures on her new camera, they all have fun with it even though Angela doesn’t like pictures she joins in as well. It was cute. It ended as fast as it started though once that familiar Volvo pulls into its normal parking space. I smirk as their faces falter. “Oh good, Cullen’s here.” I hear Mike say dryly. “Yay,” Jessica adds. They walk back over to where I was. Jessica turns to me “You’re dating the other two but you’re not like obsessed with them.” If only she knew. I shrug, “Too many homophobic and judgy people for that.” They all give me a look. “You know I’m right.” I laugh, I then notice Jacob running towards my sister, Edward seems very irritated. I didn’t even realize the group went away from me as arms wrapped around my waist, lips kissing my shoulder. I take the arms, pulling the person in front of me, I already knew it was Alice. We stood there waiting for Jasper to join us.
 We walk into the school together. Alice and Jasper holding hands. Alice was holding a wrapped gift in her other hand. “Do you think she will like it?” She asks me and I take an annoyed breath. “Bella doesn’t like gifts in general but she will appreciate them.” I was not annoyed with Alice, but more with my sister who acts like she doesn’t secretly like the attention she inevitably will always get on her birthday. We went to the side of the hall, I kiss Jasper’s cheek. “Hey, cowboy.” He scoffs a laugh, rolling his eyes. Ever since he told me his backstory I’ve been teasing him about being a “cowboy”. “Hi, darling.” He whispers for me to hear. I peek over to see Alice staring at us, we look slightly down at her since she is shorter than us. 
I pull her into our arms, she looks up and pecks at my lips. “You know for your birthday you’re going to get spoiled, right?” She tells me in a matter-of-fact tone. “I look forward to everything you wish to give me.” I place my hands on her hips as Jasper then points out that Bella and Edward are walking through the door. As Jasper and I walk slowly Alice skips over to my sister, presenting the present. “Happy-” “Shhh” Alice hugs her, leaning over to her ear and whispering “Birthday.” Over Alice's shoulder, she makes eye contact with Jasper who offers a nod. She pulls back from Alice, trying to hide the gift. “Alice, didn’t I say no gifts?” 
“You did, I didn’t. I’ve already seen you open it and guess what? You loved it!” She excitedly says. “You had a vision about my birthday.” Bella seemed annoyed but I knew she appreciates my girlfriend. “And about the green dress, you’ll be wearing to your party tonight. Great color on you.” She compliments her, also giving away the fact that she’s throwing a party for her. 
“My party?” 
“Please? It’ll be fun.” Alice pleads, I hold Jaspers's hand. “Can I?” He only nods and I drain his energy then focus on Bella who slumps, defeated. Only because I’m controlling her emotions. “I guess I can deal-” “Great! See ya at seven!” Alice hugs her before racing off before she can change her mind. I laugh, squeezing Jasper’s hand as a thank you. “Wait, Jasper, no fair with the mood control.” She pouts and he gives her an apologetic nod. “Wasn’t me,” 
“Was me!” I called, we get dragged off by Alice leaving my sister slightly upset. 
I told Charlie about the party, I was wearing this black suit that Alice requested I wear. Lately, she’s been dressing me in what style she thinks fits me best. Very fancy stuff I might add. I left on my bike to go help finish setting things up.
Getting there I was set to be with Carlisle on some things. I hold my hands behind my back pretending to act innocent. “Do you think I can change without Alice getting upset?” I ask him and he laughs shaking his head. “No, not at all.” We lean against the kitchen counter, watching Alice who is making sure everything is perfect. “I figured.” I take off the jacket to the suit though.
Bella and Edward finally make their way into the house, she’s wearing the exact dress Alice told her about in her vision. I smile, finishing up with Carlisle before heading over to Jasper, giving him a quick kiss. “What was that for?” He asks and I kiss him again. “Just wanted to,” I tell him happily. “You look amazing.” He compliments, I roll my eyes. “I never want to wear a suit again.” He laughs in response. “I’m serious.” “I know you are.” He kisses the top of my head.
Alice comes between us, taking our hands and leading us into the living room. “You two look perfect.” We lean down so she can give us both a kiss. We stand up straight and chuckle at her as she goes to get the lovebirds upstairs. 
The three make their way down the steps, and Bella is immediately embraced by Esme and Carlisle. “Sorry about all this. We tried to rein Alice in.” He humors her. “Like that’s even possible. Happy Birthday, Bella.” Esme steps back with a grin on her sweet face. I notice Alice holding up a camera right as she clicks it to go off. The flash startled my sister a tiny bit. “Found it in your bag. You mind?” She asks, Bella shakes her head no as in she doesn’t mind. 
“Dating an older woman. Hot.” Emmett speaks up to Edward. I hide my face in Jaspers's shoulder laughing. “What?” He asks defensively after Edward had elbowed him. 
Rosalie then steps up, handing Bella a silver package. “It’s a necklace. Alice picked it out.” She walks away. Short. Not sweet. But short.
Bella finally looks over to Jasper and I. She waves and I know it’s for him, he does it back and I smile, proud of him. Alice snaps a picture of him and I then back to Bella. “Show me the love!” Edward pulls Bella into an embrace, they look deeply into one another's eyes. Another flash. “For your scrapbook. Now open your presents.” She drags the girl over to a table with a pile of gifts, a huge cake, and a stake of chine plates. 
“Alice, I’m the only one who even eats.” She motions to the huge cake. “Hope your hunger. Here, this one’s from Emmett.” Everyone crowds around, I stand in front of Jasper. Bella opens it to see an empty car radio box. “Um… thanks?” She looked up, confused. “Already installed it in your truck.” He proudly states.
“Finally a decent sound system in that piece of-” “No hating on the truck. Thank you, Emmett.” Bella smiles then Alice hands her another gift. “Open mine.” Bella starts to open it then she cuts her finger on the wrapping. “Ouch, paper cut.” Blood appears and I feel Jasper tense and I get pushed aside. “No!!” I shouted as he lunges at my sister. Edward flings Bella behind him causing her to crash into the table. The plates shattered beneath her. I run over to her as Edward shoves Jasper into the wall but he ricochets off it and comes back at Bella. Emmett along with Carlisle tackles Jasper to the ground, Alice holds him whispering to him to comfort him.  I groan at the scent of her blood, trying to help her. My jaw tensed.
Bella lifts her arm up and a pool of blood leaks out. I grunt, getting her to stand up. “I need to get out of here,” I say through gritted teeth. Accidentally pushing her onto Carlisle I storm out of the house. Not even moments later Emmett and Rosalie bring out Jasper. 
I stare at him, draining his energy, his snarls coming to a complete stop. The two let him go and he falls to the ground as he’s losing more and more control of himself. I don’t even realize how far I am going. “[Name]! Calm down!” Alice shoves me back and I stumble back. He lays there collecting himself. “He- My sister. I am not sorry!” I rub my face, and looking back at him I notice dark circles under his eyes. 
“I didn’t mean to go that far.” I bow my head down. “I forgive you, I need the night to myself and my sister though,” I tell them both, frowning at the sight. I go back inside and Edward was waiting outside of the door where Bella was getting cleaned up. 
“You hurt her.” I spit out, his eyes glancing up at me. “You have brung nothing but trouble to our lives,” I tell him with sincerity. “I wouldn’t have been a monster if it was for you entering her life.” I point a finger at his chest, but he doesn’t respond. “I am angry that I now have to risk her life just from a cut.” I shove him into the wall. “You will fix this.” I furrow my eyebrows angrily at him, pushing him further into the wall right as the door opens. I step back. “I’m driving you home.” I grab her by the arm, she tries to get out of my grip but I don’t allow it.
“[Name]!” “Enough! You will go home with me and that is final, Bella!” I shout at her, “Enough with this game and risking your fucking life!” I scream, she finally drops down defeated and we step outside. All of the Cullens are watching, Rosalie is even tense from the scene. I let Bella climb in and I slam the door. 
“You all think about this night. Think about how you’re putting my sister in danger.” I speak just loud enough for them to hear me and not her. “Am I clear?” I fold my arms. They only nod in response. “I will talk later.” 
So this one is a little shorter than my last few but wanted to end this chapter here or else the next one would've been way too long for my liking. Also, Alice's height is 4'10 in the book so that's what I'm basing it off of. Jasper is 6'3 and I'm making [Name]'s 5'6 medium height bitch. I kind of got writer's block. Well not really, I can write the story in my notebook but I can't get it all on my computer because I get a little bored after a little bit. It takes me longer to come up with ideas when I'm typing compared to actually writing it might be weird but it's what I do.

i simply love knowing now that you have so many hours in a trucking simulator (if i remember the tag you mentioned it in LMAO) so incredibly charming. delightful human being thank you for the warmth
JKShDGSFG THANKS don't mind me taking the opportunity to reminisce about it. i had a mint green volvo truck that i yanked the limiter out of so i could do twice the speed limit. had a few steam workshop add-ons so i could put some fuzzy dice and a christmas tree in the cabin. turned off the police blasted some heavy metal and played chicken in the wrong lane doing 150 kmh with five figures worth of eggs in the trailer, totalled her a couple of times LOL
but most of the time i actually followed the rules! it was actually super relaxing because the game comes with built-in connection to real life european radio channels!! i would tune into the norwegian orchestra channel and listen to classical music while taking in the unironically beautiful graphically outdated scenery.
i had most of the dlc countries too so i could take a cross-continent trip from scotland all the way to hungary. just turn my brain off and drive. it really helped me through my high school anxiety, and also made me less scared to learn how to drive in real life!
MAN...... i miss my euro truck simulator days but i just don't have time for it anymore now that i'm putting thousands of hours into monster hunter instead LMAOO

Cara Beth Satalino — Little Green (Worried Songs)
Tumblr media
Photo by Justin Flythe
Turning into an adult has never been easy, but the people who progressed from late teens and 20s into mid-life over the last couple of years have had an especially rough go of it, given the pandemic, the lockdown and the oncoming climate apocalypse. Cara Beth Satalino, the fresh-voiced center of country-folk Outer Spaces, was among this unlucky cohort. One day she was carefree, singing her songs in bars and small clubs, the next she found herself diagnosed with chronic illness, isolated in New Jersey and unexpectedly pregnant.
The title track of this first solo album tracks that series of events in luminous folk style, a fragile voice pushing up through reverb shrouded guitar. “I used to be puppy dog, I used to be a little green, little leaf unfolding, reaching out for anything at all,” croons Satalino in “Little Green,” the brief song that is, maybe, the key to the whole album. “I used to play on my guitar, up in there at the bar, I used to sing a yearning song, a little leaf unfolding, little leaf unfolding.” The “used to” part is heartbreaking, but the song suggests a path out, the possibility of tending a garden where other leaves may eventually unfold. Satalino sings in a tender but resolute way, making her peace with the new normal.
These songs have a fresh-scrubbed authenticity, centered on Satalino’s raspy soprano and forthright language, though they often swell, mid-cut, into multi-voiced, descanting fullness. “Time,” for instance, begin in simplicity, its jangling guitar paced by kick drum, a pedal steel curving up through the verse. Satalino’s singing is straightforward, rich but unornamented, until it blossoms in dizzying harmonies and counterpoints, suddenly overwhelming.
Satalino’s tunes range in tone from jangling folk pop to near country, think Waxahatchee but not as southern. She sings about Volvos station wagons, not pick-up trucks. A few, like “Daylight Savings Time,” feature wavery keyboard or maybe recorder melodies that shade them subtly into 1960s folk territory. Yet though the accompaniment can be flowery, the words are precise and workmanlike. Consider this, from “Daylight Savings Time”— “Today I woke up feeling rested/with an hour to spare/free time in my pocket/time that was not there yesterday/it’s on the front page/it’s the good news we never gave/one solitary hour feels like money to be spent.”
Though Little Green is a solo album, Satalino is by no means alone. Her partner in Outer Spaces, Chester Gwazda, is a big presence, playing bass and keyboards on most tracks, and guitar and drums on a couple.  Angie Boylan, who has toured with Sleater-Kinney and Maria Paternoster, picks up the rest of the drumming duties, while Dan Kassel adds cello. Nicholas Metz is especially effective on pedal steel, nudging cuts like “Outlaw” into rich twanging country. The arrangements never overwhelm. Satalino’s voice and stories remain the focus. But they do expand and enliven her songs, and you can hear a certain joy in the musicians’ ability to play together again after a period of separation.
Despite the troubles that surround it, this isn’t a sad album at all. It finds ways to celebrate the good parts of the last few years, as in “The Great Liberator.” Sings Satalino, “Walked down to the farm to watch the eagles catch the sun, it doesn’t seem like much but it’s a new brand of fun.”  Like Little Green.

More Profit From Almost Nothing
Manufacturing is a simple formula. You take a small amount of material, mold or shape it into something unique and sell it for many hundreds of times more money than the material cost you. A Rolex has maybe $40 worth of raw materials. Carefully designed and constructed, it is worth thousands when complete, many times that when fashionable. So too with cars.
The problem with the car industry is that they are convinced that the formula works so well that they want to make more money but there are only so many customers. Everyone either has or uses a car. Out of the 350,000,000 Americans of all ages – babies and non-drivers -- there already are 278,063,737 personal and commercial vehicles. So the problem facing car manufacturers trying to make more and more profit is that either they have to try and sell two cars to every driver or they have to make the cars much more expensive, thereby making more profit.
The manufacturers chose the latter solution.
How do you make the car more expensive and thereby profitable? Remember the formula: take 10¢ of steel, shape it and sell it for $1.00. Now, there are exceptions to this rule. First you can create a mystique about Bentley, Mercedes, BMW and the like and get an extra 10% for “beat-the-Jones” show-off value. But 10% is not enough to satisfy Wall Street investors. Or you can make very limited numbers of a model to create extra demand like Ferrari and Porsche. Or you can stick to the manufacturing profit model and simply add more and more steel and other components.
It all started to get out of hand with Ralph Nader who declared the ’69 Corsair “unsafe at any speed.” The Corsair was the only US manufactured rear engine car. Kill the Corsair and you effectively killed the other “unsafe” car, the VW Beetle. The Corsair weighed 2,414 lbs. The VW Beetle weighed only 1,742 lbs. and out-performed and was more reliable. But that Nader label of “unsafe” effectively killed the US market for the rear-engined Beetle. VW’s answer was to put the motor back in front, add almost another ton of steel, and relaunch the Beetle. More steel equaled a higher price and more profit.
Meanwhile, Chevy and Ford sedans in the mid-‘60s weighed 2,600 lbs. By 2022 they had ballooned up to 3,500 lbs. More material, more profit. VW Jetta’s are 50% heavier than when launched. Camry weighed 2,161 lbs. when launched in 1982, now weigh in at 3,310 lbs. In the SUV market, 2023 weights are getting up close to 6,000 lbs. or 3 tons for Tahoes and Expeditions.
And then along came electric cars.
Instead of going back to lighter, less bulky chassis, they simply stuck the new motor(s) and all those batteries in conventional platforms, adding another 300 lbs. even though they had removed the engine and gearbox – hardly lightweight components – and had reduced the overall size of the car by 20%. And Tesla? The lightest is 4,048 lbs. with the Model X at 5,390 lbs. And the prices for these increases in weight? Pretty much in lock step. More metal and plastic costs you more.
Now here’s the question we all need to ask ourselves: given today’s technology providing reliability mechanically (which is also lighter than old cast-iron engines), wouldn’t it be nice to have a reasonably heavy car instead of a gas guzzling heavyweight or an electric car that can only go 200 miles? Put today’s engine into a 1968 Volvo weighing 2,500 lbs. and you’d get 50 mpg and all the safety needed. Put an electric drivetrain in an original VW Beetle and you’d get 400-mile range with half the batteries of a Tesla. Or do as Ford is doing, stripping out all the unessentials, and launching the Maverick small truck with a base price of $22,000. Now that’s a business model to suit today’s consumer.

I think a lot these days about a story my granddad told me.
Granddad was a career US Army finance officer who served from sometime around 1940 to sometime around 1960. He had access to a lot of seemingly boring reports on how efficiency might be improved and money saved on things the Army did at scale, like repairing jeeps and issuing boots and such. And at some point in the 1950s, he ran across a study the Army had done about seatbelts.
The question being examined in the study was fairly simple: is it worth the cost to install seatbelts in Army jeeps and trucks? Would it save the Army more money (in terms of lost training, medical care, death benefits, etc.) than it would cost (in terms of purchase and installation and retraining) to make soldiers buckle up outside of combat? A pure cost-benefit analysis.
Now, Granddad was not exactly a safety zealot, especially when it came to cars. He learned to drive from his local bootleggers during Prohibition, and it showed. (He later had to be forbidden from teaching his grandkids how to pull a bootlegger's turn.) He liked to do his own maintenance and repairs, and until he bought a Volvo in the 1980s with a computer in it, he never drove a car he didn't understand down to the smallest part. He made his own customized tools. He had supreme confidence in his ability to make any motor vehicle do precisely what he wanted, when he wanted it to do it, and to my knowledge, no vehicle ever let him down.
He read that Army seatbelt study once, and he immediately went out and bought a seatbelt kit to install in the family car.
Seatbelts weren't standard back then. They were a premium add-on, something for paranoids to pay extra for. Nobody used them, at least in the places Granddad and his family lived. He'd made it through Prohibition, the Depression, World War II and the Korean War without buckling up once.
He described to me how he bolted those seatbelts into the family car, right there on the driveway, while the neighbors stared in bafflement and two of his three kids bellyached about it. Only Grandma stood by in silence, holding the baby and watching it all with solemn eyes. She'd seen several gory car and plane crashes, enough to be a nervous flier for the rest of her life, and she wasn't going to complain about anything that would make travel less deadly.
And after that, buckling up was family law. Granddad did it, Grandma did it, and any kid who unbuckled while the engine was on got an extremely memorable shouting-at in Army and maybe an ass-whooping because it was the past.
I know the seatbelt thing must have been a blow to his pride, considering what an excellent driver and mechanic he'd always been, exactly the kind of person who would complain about seatbelt laws when I was a kid. But I never asked him why he'd been so quick to install those "unnecessary" seatbelts, decades before the major studies were in and the law began requiring them. I never asked because he told me before I could think of it.
He said, "I looked at those numbers, and I knew I had to. I wouldn't be any kind of man if I didn't."
Anyway, this is your periodic reminder, regardless of your gender identity or lack thereof, that covid is still a thing and you should wear your fucking mask.

Doug Demuro Net Worth: His Car Auction Site Just Got A $37 Million Cash Boost From Youtube!
Tumblr media
Presently based in San Diego, California, Douglas DeMuro is a prolific American internet personality, author, columnist, writer, and businessman. By 2022, DeMuro's YouTube channel dedicated to reviewing cars had over four million subscribers. He has been around for 34 years now, having been born in Denver, Colorado on May 22nd, 1988.
Doug Demuro Net Worth
Doug DeMuro is a YouTuber, author, and businessman in the United States who is worth $10 million. Doug DeMuro is famous for his auto-review channel on YouTube, which bears his name. Before that, he was the blog editor and a contributor to Autotrader.com's Oversteer. He has also written for The Truth About Cars and Jalopnik. https://twitter.com/DougDeMuro/status/1622746514501300224 DeMuro also founded and manages the online auto auction marketplace Cars & Bids in the year 2020.
Doug Demuro Car Auction Site Just Got A $37 Million Cash Boost From Youtube.
Since becoming a YouTube star with his automobile evaluations, automotive journalist Doug DeMuro has accelerated. The Chernin Group, a top investment group, is investing $37 million in his Cars & Bids online auction business. DeMuro, 34, calls this significant. This article is a must-read Where To Watch South Park Season 26. “It's going to allow us to take Cars & Bids to the next level, let me refocus on generating YouTube videos and have the aid of a group of individuals who actually know what they're doing,” DeMuro tells Robb Report. The Chernin Group (TCG) will own a majority position in a new company that merges DeMuro's YouTube and Cars & Bids activity. Business transformation expert Ro Choy will be the CEO. DeMuro says he's been developing Cars & Bids and making YouTube videos for three years. “TCG, who understand the business, helped us grow.” DeMuro is the most-watched US vehicle reviewer on YouTube since 2013. His "Quirks and Features" and "Doug Score" segments have garnered over 1.7 billion views and 4.5 million subscribers. If you enjoyed that, you may want to check out Tommy Lee Net Worth. DeMuro and Blake Machado launched their online auction platform in 2019 to purchase and sell 1980s-today enthusiast cars.
Tumblr media
Doug Demuro Net Worth Cars & Bids, which has sold over $230 million in late model cars, is a strong competitor to Bring a Trailer. What will the TCG investment change? DeMuro wants more employees first. The 18-person auction team is actively recruiting. Expect DeMuro to review more Cars & Bids vehicles, especially the oddball ones. I expect the format to remain. “People seem to appreciate it,” adds DeMuro, “but I think we'll add more features to make it easier for bidders to negotiate the site. I'll keep contributing.” You might also be interested to read about Is Colbert New Tonight. After leading the cannabis-on-demand marketplace Eaze from $20 million to $200 million in sales, Ro Choy becomes CEO. The automotive enthusiast was CEO of BitTorrent and Luxe, a Volvo-acquired valet-parking app. TCG is an affiliate of a Los Angeles-based private equity firm that turnarounds consumer firms. Barstool Sports, Epic Gardening, Food52, and watch-collector website Hodinkee are among its clients. We hope you like this article How Old Is Bono U2? DeMuro says Cars & Bids' success always amazes him. We launched in May 2020, just after Covid. I predicted failure. We entered this amazing vehicle market by chance.” First, auctioned car? DeMuro's 2012 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG waggon. The buyer gives me images. It's amazing we've reached 10,000 auctions.” Since 2020, a 2006 Ford GT sold for $395,000, a 2002 Lamborghini Murciélago for $417,000, and a Hummer-like 1996 Toyota Mega Cruiser at $310,000. For whatever reason, the site dominates sales of high-profile electric trucks like the Hummer EV, Rivian R1T, and Ford Lightning. How did DeMuro reward himself with investment cash? DeMuro says his ideal automobile was a Porsche Carrera GT. Instead, embarrassingly, I got a 2022 Mercedes E450 Wagon without an AMG. Parenthood changes you.” https://youtu.be/nhhY4CieZU8 If you liked this article, follow our website, serveupdate.com, and don’t forget to follow our social media handles. Read the full article
