A Rivian is a type of electric vehicle ( an SUV in this case). As far as stancing, the best way to describe it is to show you. See how the wheels are angled? Why people do this on road cars I just don’t know.

So this came across on one of my feeds and I’m disgusted. As president of the Bay State Soccer League I will reaffirm our belief that SOCCER IS FOR EVERYONE! Except ICE. I will do everything in my power to keep these goons away from our players.
