Every year some of my boys and i roll on down to the auto show to check out a bunch of whips that we will never buy. But it’s nice to dream. It’s kind of a funny place cause you see a bunch of different people checking all kinds of cool cars. My squad went from the new toyota trucks to the 4 dr jeeps to the beemers which for me was a sure highlight. The new twin turbo 335 is basically the poorman’s M3. I mean this thing is so fast and ready to wild out. Then off to the tuner section whjimmie ere there was a bunch of whips that we werent really feeling but were equipped with like over 400 hp. CRAZY. AHHH as we approached the audi and exotic section i happend to run into phillies STAR jimmy rollins
He was up in there doing some promo for FC KERBECK the exotic car dealer of the the 2 one 5 area.
Then we all gravitiated toward the new audi R8, this thing is nuts! Has the same engine in it as the rs4. totally sick SICK SICK. Although not a daily driver and i would not really spend the dough on it, still very cool to look at. ( see pictures above ).

We here at [ 2 one 5 ] would like to take the time to thank Comcast. Without their internet and television services, we wouldn’t be where we are today. We’d also like to thank them for coming out to fix our internet two days after we initially called. We’re glad that the over $100 we spend a month on your services went to helping out those you really appreciate (your customers) instead of building a huge atrocity in the downtown Philadelphia area. Thanks, Comcast, for really lending a hand to those that need it. We look forward to the day when your tower is finally completely and you can continue to reign supreme over the minions that dish out too much money for your horrible customer services and shoddy goods. We also like to see the big guy finally win one against a far inferior opponent. It’s like the reverse Rocky. Or if, let’s just say, labor laws and unions never really existed. That’s the way Karl Marx really imagined it. Anyway, we can’t wait until your spectre finally haunts the great city where [ 2 one 5 ] derives its moniker.

My parents read the Inky. Sometimes I occasionally page through it. Sometimes (more like almost never) something catches my eye. Well, the other day, I ran my greasy finger across this little article about AF1’s. It’s not really that interesting of a read, but it kind of sheds a new light on the whole sneaker craze. Now that it’s in a not-well respected paper that only older people read, has sneakerfiendin’ gone mainstream? It’s difficult to say. AF1’s have been around for a while, and I don’t want to dampen their 25th anniversary by saying that I think sneakerfiendin’ is about to dance with death as it’s brought into mainstream culture. But, I just said that exact thing. Happy Birthday, AF1!!!!

Recently, Philly rappers Plastic Little had the ads for their ad card pulled from Vice Magazine, for being too offensive. Right. Here’s the ad in question:
The whole campaign for the “She’s Mature” album features tongue in cheek commentary that manages to offend just about everybody. But, if you walk away laughing and seeing that it is in fact, meant to be funny, then you got the point. Although I do think Vice got the point (they ran some of the other ads), they put the brakes on this one. Why? That’s the question that comes to mind. Well, it turns out that Vice didn’t care for the reference to Triple 5 Soul. Word is that the Triple 5 Soul is a huge supporter/money giver to Vice and they didn’t want to compromise that relationship. I guess you need it when your ad rates are ridiculous.

The moment has arrived. And no, it’s not the second coming of Jesus. Although, I do like to picture Jesus with, like, big angel wings, but that’s totally besides the point and completely irrelevant. What is relevant, and the moment you really care about concerns the [ 2 one 5 ] retail store. Tomorrow (February the Second, Groundhog Day, Whatever you want to call it), the doors of the store will swing open for the first time to the public. If you’d like to think of us as Willy Wonka and yourselves as, say, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, or Charlie Bucket himself than go ahead. While we may be dishing out delicious chocolate treats, we will definitely be unraveling our stock of t-shirts. Some will be on sale. Others will be full price. All are the hot shit. So come on out, bring the girlfriend/boyfriend, and grab yourself a t-shirt. There may or may not be free beer. Sorry, no pets. Ca$h Only (sorry credit vixens).
