Be clear loud and to the point. These grifters don’t want to waste time so if you instantly convince them you’re not a mark they instantly move on. But if you’re too polite they see you as a mark that just needs more work in order to pay off somehow.

Yup he asked me something around those lines. I didn’t really understand what he meant. I got a bad vibe and said no. Also he didn’t have a card to swipe and get in.

where are you located? I just counted like 19 free-to-use spots (all of which are utilized) on my short small block. hardly missing from the neighborhood.

now, safety features that aren't speed bumps...things like corner bumpouts....those are largely missing
