Pretty sure many people could give an accurate description of the carjackers.

The Attic is best known for the 1964 James Bond car that was auctioned for 100K USD in 1981 and is now valued at 3M USD. The car's twin machine guns would be useful against armed suspects. The Attic was also a renowned 1, 200-seat Smörgåsbord restaurant in West Vancouver, British Columbia, operating from 1968 to 1981, owned by former Vancouver alderman Frank Baker (1922–1989) and his wife Dorothy.

This is why you should keep your car driving enthusiasm on a race track. Drive the cheapest new car money can buy and keep a non-fashionable low profile. Things are about to get real HOT in the peak of winter.
