Had to get rid of my 2003 Acura CL-S with a bit more than 1/2 that mileage because 19 Chicago winters started to take a toll on the frame. The 3.2L V-6 and the six speed manual were never rebuilt and were still running very smooth and strong. 

A driver has to do a long list of dumb things for this to happen. Also has to completely ignore or be unaware of several factors like a huge weight imbalance, never looking into any of several mirrors, and ignoring what I can imagine were several other drivers trying to get his attention. 

Former truck driver here specializing in those specific trailers (called ‘end dumps’).  I now manage those drivers and I can tell you there’s an adage in our industry: “If you’re dumb AF drive a truck.”  

We were punished by having all of the windows OPEN.

STAY AWAY FROM THE CANS!!!

“But even if this 770 belonged to the Pope…”

Edit: I didn’t read far down enough.  Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop reading the entire thread.

Or more likely someone that thinks they know way more than they actually do.  Let them kill themselves off and save the rest of us a lot of problems.

From the Mad Mad World vault!!

‘Airplane!’, not KFM. Same people behind both though (Abrahams, Zucker, and Zucker). 

Monday morning, 1986 and I’m talking to my fellow high school senior and buddy: “What’d you do this weekend?”

I was in the Navy air wing when this happened; immediate safety stand down for everyone. This guy was lucky: his helmet was sucked from his head and seized the turbine so he only had very minor injuries.

I rented one of these for a week last month; absolutely loved it. I bought a Ford Transit Connect in 2014 but it was the stripped down, two seat cargo version and while functional it was miserable to be in.  I now have to convince my wife that a Pacifica should replace our Cherokee.  Full disclosure: we’re in our 50s,…

Sing me a song, you’re a singer
Do me a wrong, you’re a bringer of evil
The devil is never a maker
The less that you give, you’re a taker
So it’s on and on and on, it’s Heaven and Hell.

I always heard it as “go go Godzilla!”

My then fiancé insisted we buy one of these and I refused. It got so bad I finally said “Oh Sherry….it’s time we went our separate ways.” She replaced me with someone who looks and dresses a lot like me but her real friends confess to me it’s just not the same.

I drove a six speed in Chicagoland every day for more than 20 years. That ended last year and I’m MUCH happier. (I know it’s not what he asked for); just buy a Civic or Corolla and sleep easier.
