dumpster-diving 

(verb) The act of entering garbage dumpsters, often those closest to stores and grocers, in the hopes of finding and procuring food and/or merchandise that has been thrown away by the businesses. Acquired items are then either consumed or resold for profit. Possibly illegal in some states, dumpster diving has been given a bad wrap because of some divers lack of decent, courteous etiquette (i.e. throwing trash out of the dumpster and then never putting it back in the dumpster when finished.
Sometimes D.I. and Tonya would hit the jackpot when they went dumpster-diving. Why one night D.I. acquired a leather coat that the slick little bastard resold for some three-figured amount. Though frowned upon by some, dumpster diving could pay off beaucoup on some evenings.

draking and driving 

The act of driving while simultaneously listening to Drake. This act typically results in ending up at your ex's house while crying. Much like drinking and driving, sometimes your actions aren't controllable resulting in regret later on. Most common songs which cause Draking and driving are: Say Something, Doing It Wrong, Marvin's Room, & Best I Ever Had although there are numerous others. Don't confuse with R. Kelly cruising which is the act of listening to R. Kelly resulting in an unexpected sexual encounter with an ex, a friend, or a hooker.
Bob tuned into some Drake while he was getting fast food at 2am, but somehow ended up at his ex's house only to wake up to pain & regret the next morning and also remembering that his ex is a huge whore! Unfortunately this was a bad case of Draking and Driving!

Past Diving

Spending time going through sentimental items or messages in order to feel what you felt when you first received them. This is easily done through Facebook and Myspace, but can include going through messages/posts/comments on other social networking sites, emails, or old items in drawers in your room (e.g., that letter that your ex-boyfriend wrote you six years ago in which he swore he'd never leave you, although everyone and their mom knew he one day would).
April: "Where's Mike been? I haven't seen him in days!"
Chris: "He's probably hauled up in his room past diving again"

Back in 1991 I saw a guy driving down the road who owned one. 

Greg Snyder was witness to one of the most key moments of 1991. It was back in 1991 when he saw a guy driving down the road who owned one. Greg went on to state his claim for all to see on social media. He didn’t care who believed him. A man of principle and character, a gentleman and a scholar.
Whoa, look at that sweet 1988 Chrysler Conquest TSI!!
