i saw a tesla truck in a parking lot the other day. the pictures of it that i saw online do not do it justice. it is even more ridiculous looking in real life.

best way for me to treat your email as junk spam garbage trash?. sending me a message about trying your product, and then sending me follow up emails on if i saw your last email every 24 hours. i did see your email. it's in my trash bin. bye.
