Car Quote by Rich Paul
“In my neighborhood if you had a nice car, you know what they said about it? You didn't pay for it. If you wore your clothes a certain way, they questioned your sexuality. If you was smart in school they called you a nerd. If you had a disability, they highlighted it. There's no praise. There's only criticism.”
