the neighborhood menace just stopped a repo truck with nothing but a wrench and a death stare.

so i was walking past that cluster of houses on the edge of the industrial park when a tow truck pulls up to the property line. the guy starts dragging chains, clearly looking for a bike. then this dude from the garage—you know the one, covered in ink, always in a dirty tank top—comes strolling out like he’s walking into his own living room. he didn't even yell. just tapped the guy’s window with a crescent wrench, said three words, and the driver just... put the truck in reverse and left. the way he just leaned against the gate after, lighting a cigarette while watching the guy peel out? absolute insanity. this kid acts like he owns the whole street, and honestly? the way he was looking at the truck, i'm not sure he doesn't.

that house has been a revolving door for 'new family' for years. wonder if the kid just wants his own space back.

i've seen him at the underground races on weekends. he’s not just 'menacing,' the guy is genuinely dangerous if you touch his bike.

that’s the guy from the garage on 4th. he’s not just a mechanic, he’s a local legend for being a total prick to anyone who steps on his property.

Reply to seattle_ride: legend? he’s a nightmare. i tried to ask about a part once and he basically told me to get lost.

that dude is a wildcard. i once saw him eat a full meal in the middle of a driveway just to block a guest's car. pure spite.

is he always like this or did the repo guy just catch him on a bad day?

the driver was terrified. like, pale white scared. what did he even say to him?

he wasn't protecting the bike. he was protecting his territory. there's a difference.

repo guys hate him because he’s always two steps ahead. how does he even know they’re coming?
