Typical securing of parking lots and buildings has been superseded by the willingness to steal a large enough vehicle to break down the barriers. The gun stores near me are adding anti-vehicle bollards in front. I presume they will also need to soon guard the brick walls as well.

I look forward to seeing $60-80,000 vehicles a few years old being totaled and sold for scrap when their sophisticated head lamp control modules go out of production. For sure someone will screw up and over-drive a FET that is buried in epoxy and is not reparable and put that in 50,000 vehicles.

It’s not a sticker - far more clever - they took a surround frame and made two cuts so the part held by one screw could be rotated 90 degrees to cover one character in the plate and then likely tightened the screw so it would resist simply turning it to uncover that character. Locking it in place is the main reason bre…

It was no longer obscured and I bet the owner is a cop.

Don’t body shame. He just happens to be large framed.

Kerosene would be significantly safer - much less likely to be ignited by a spark. Gasoline vapors are a huge explosion danger.

With that title ...

Anyone mention spotters? I watched the show organizer talk about the crash - no spotters mentioned.

The main problem is on the ground because they are tail-draggers so the pilot cannot see the runway during taxi and take-off. However the P-63 is a tricycle gear plane without that problem.

This was an aerial parade, no mock battles. Many people screwed up.

The original Mlive article is unclear about whether it’s the full truck or just the corn. Either way, it’s more than an SUV can take in a head on collision.

Visitors indicate that hospital operating rooms are filthy in comparison to Jay’s garage. He’s probably got a tiny Roomba that cleans the top of the regular sized Roomba.

Does this mean the reverse indicator light on the rear of the vehicle also doesn’t work or that Ford’s better idea is to decouple the lamp from the camera and display?

For a mechanical problem - if the brake pedal arm snapped off, then no braking recorded and no brake lights - but that would be obvious after the crash. However, it would not also accompany a pedal application reading from the accelerator pedal.

Time to reprogram the “stop” or “Park” button so that if it is mashed more than a few times in 30 seconds the car accelerator pedal is ignored. A passenger might not know how long to push the button but if the driver is incapacitated either by a medical problem or a mental, loss of situational awareness, issue, the…

Yes - dumbass all around. Still hit the stopped car, knows that 2-lane shoulders have a steep drop-off that is very difficult to control but went for it, and then over-corrected and picked off the SUV instead of just going with the ditch, so he dumped the truck and the trailer anyway.

A neighbor of mine had a similar thing happen - he lost both eyebrow for a while before they grew back. Turns out that gasoline is both really good as a solvent and not such a good thing with a backfiring engine. Ah - the good old days of leaning over a carburetor and having it belch fire.

From very detailed photos it looked to be a collision right behind the wing that separated the fuselage at the wing trailing edge and then removed the top of the fuselage including the cockpit roof to the rear edge of the windscreen. I suspect the pilots were killed faster than they could understand what happened.
