"If he's wrong, he has to work for that car for the rest of his life."

@twayizi said to the online community:

"That time, my insurance limit is R3.5 million. I’d hope that’s enough to fix a Urus. Yoh, maybe I should increase it."

"He must leave the country with immediate effect."

@mike_g101 also added humour, writing:

"This is the part where he comes out saying, 'Didn’t you see me indicating?' while his lights don’t even work."

@_masekindt03 suggested to the taxi driver:

"Take the Siyaya to the scrap yard and pay for the Lambo."
