Kilwinning and Callum Ainsworth sounds more like a Scottish perve than a Californian one. Plus, he was just simulating the sex. ---

The way that article is written, it sounds like Australia. And the ads were in pence, so that’s yet another bit of misdirection. ---

A quick google on KILWINNING brings up a town in Scotland. Not our freak, not our newspaper. Sorry **Bosda** , but thanks for playing. ---

I was going to say it should be strictly between the boy and his car, but it turns out it wasn’t his car. It was car-rape. But I like how the headline riffs on the infamous Clinton/Lewinski/Impeachment quote. ---

Heh, I knew of someone back in high school who tried to do the deed with the Muffler of his car to prove how much he loved his new car. He quickly learned NOT to try to have sex with a muffler right after the car has been driven though. Interesting burn marks though indeed. 😃 ---
