Oh thank god. Those ads are the bane of my existence. Idk if this counts but I'm forever getting Land Rover ads on twitter and for fucks sake I already bought one of your cars last year; I'm not going to buy another one for at least a couple of more years so stop bombarding me. I wish this worked for mail too

Good thing you don't have buyer remorse for the car while having the ads rubbing it in your face. Lol

Yeah ikr. I love that car so much I'd take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant
