      @DarkVoidIII 2 года назад +3

      Drugs or stolen vehicle. Especially considering they were in an area they weren't supposed to be, got themselves hung up on a curb, got noticed by the Railroad Police, and the local Police who nabbed them! DUI a strong possibility, too. It'd be easier to list what they weren't suspected of, and that would be plain old common sense! It's a commodity certain people seem to lack when they most need it! 😊🤣👍

    If that car wasn't blocking any tracks (which I don't think it was), if I knew I was inebriated, I would have left the car there and came back in the morning. Even if it got towed, the towing bill is a lot less then a 10K DUI

    I don’t wanna be that person but that’s a Mclaren 765LT. The 765 has the fins on the rear bumper and the 720s doesn’t. Also the exhaust is farther up near the wing in the middle of the rear bumper as well. Again the 720s doesn’t have this. I still get confused and sometimes can’t tell the difference between the two but I have to look more closely at them when I go to car meets
