    I love how rob is dedicating his life to go against the car narrative of; "on a long enough timeline, everything gets an LS" .
    Rob went to a car show one day and saw an LS in an RX-7 and like Bruce Wayne seeing his parents getting murdered was the PTSD for Batman, that moment still keeps him up at night and in the shop.
