Default Who in their Right Mind Uses a Red Corvette to Sell Drugs?



I'm starting to think some of the people who commit crimes actually want to get caught.

In fact, I'm almost certain they want the long arm of the law to reach them much like the guy who thought he could use a rented Corvette as a getaway car after shooting someone, as covered here. How else can you explain this more recent report I stumbled on of a guy using a shiny red Corvette as his mode of transportation when selling drugs in the neighborhood?

actually not a bad idea. corvette typically has an older low crime demographic that own them

dumb would be using an EG civic that's dropped with a loud exhaust.

or

any car with broken equipment inviting a ticket.

Unless they are trolling in the hood, then it looks even more out of place.

You don't have to be smart to sell drugs. Wonder how long he went before he was caught?

He probably bought the corvette with drug proceeds. It wasn't a job that earned the money.

I met a few drug dealers surprised they got caught. I'm like take a look at this picture of your house, looks like a dead giveaway. You have a 1/4 million dollars of vehicles sitting in front of a $40,000. house and you're only 19. No job. Looks like over $100,000. in jewelry and teeth. The dude still couldn't figure it out

these guys are rare.

most dealers actually make less than they would working a normal job which is what's really screwed up about it

between jail, crazy women, drugs themselves and being irresponsible most dealers are broke

do like the mallet wheels on that FRC though, really fit the FRC lines

I thought all Corvettes were red. You mean they actually make them in various colors?

A silly idea, anyone knows that you would use a blue one.

He might be out of prison by now. That was a long time ago.
