      @@AntiBot420 yup they probably live the luxury lifestyle going to private schools in everything and probably was gifted a Lamborghini at 18 and then traded it in for this. Sad world we live in. I love how he claims that he built this truck. 😂😂😂😂. What he did was pick from options on the van and had somebody else do it. I can see right thru these folks. Plus he will never respond to things like that cause rich folks mostly cowards. Plus he knows it's true.
