Only thing I can think of (apart from “He’s a complete moron) is that the waiter was looking to quit anyway and is hoping to cadge some of that sweet “right wing martyr” cash and sympathy from the rubes.
On the bright side, now we have empirical proof of the creation of a “Camry Dent”...
Annoyingly it so far out in the sticks that they never did a streetview of the road. I looked a few years ago specifically because I wanted to see if the mailbox was still there and was so disappointed because up till then I hadn’t encountered a street that wasn’t covered.
Based on my experience with older relatives, it’s necessary to have an alert sound go off if the turn signal has been on for too long.
Funny story time. Back when my parents owned a farm we (and others in the area) would lose our mailbox to vandalism and “mailbox baseball” once or twice a year. We already had a P.O. box because the mailbox was at the end of a 600 foot driveway and we didn’t want stuff stolen, but it was still annoying to not get the…
If I nearly got run over in my driveway like that guy did I’d build a concrete scale model of Devil’s Tower in my yard and the neighbors can go fuck themselves.
Hey, I’ll have you know he got all his information about both cars and police work from this important documentary.
Or it just flew by and obliterated the drone with it’s rocket exhaust.
I work at a library and we sometimes get people coming in to report their library books lost in a car or bag theft. In these cases we ask for a police report in order to waive the fine for lost books, and while a lot of people do file reports (particularly for cars) the number of people who look at you like you’re…
As a friend who worked at a station put it. “Time to slap the big red fuel cutoff button and run like fuck out the back door.”
Or just plain confused and panicking after the initial crash, wondering why the brakes weren’t doing anything. I had a similar incident as a young driver (minus the explodey bits) and at the time I swore I was hitting the brakes while I was in fact relentlessly hammering the gas while trying to steer out of a skid…
“Driver offered me water and asked what music I wanted to listen to, but we later exploded into a fireball of death and pain. ***”
Living in MN I tend to see the “basic speed” law applied when people are driving their fwd sports cars at 60 mph on the freeway in whiteout conditions while passing the pros in 4X4s who are all going 30 and thinking “shit shit shit, this is terrible weather!”
First thing I thought of, and the inspiration for my post. :)
Interesting, according to the homeowner he drove through a yard to get to the lake. He also thinks the guy bailed out before the car went off the embankment because he was dry when he showed up in the house.
“NEGROS RULE!” “THE COLOREDS ARE BEST!”
My grandparents lived in that area for awhile and yeah, apart from the public access landings there are very few places where you could even come close to doing something like this. I am very confused.
Forget it Jason, it’s Toontown.
First thing I thought of as well. Between watching out for drivers jumping from one of the slowed/stopped lanes into the left lane and being tailgated by idiots who can’t conceive of why going 80mph past two lanes of stalled traffic is a terrible idea, driving into downtown when that section of 394 is backed up (IE…
