the Gapple Orchard

the magical place where corvette owners go when they think they can beat my shitbox hatchback with 250k on the odometer on an empty stretch of highway
dude 1: some old white dude paralleled me on the highway, and looked me dead in the eyes
dude 2: what did you do?
dude 1: let’s just say he’s spending some time in the Gapple Orchard right now
