Operation DeathTrap

Operation DeathTrap | Apollyon | Scoop.it

On February 1st, I bought the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica in this picture. The name of the dealership that sold me this vehicle is Car Hop in Cranston, Rhode Island. You can find them online at: www.CarHop.com.

It is the height of hypocrisy to say that you're willing to fight for someone else if, when the time comes, you're not willing to defend yourself.
