Traffic Report: “Like A Rock” Edition
Ian took this picture in San Antonio. I guess this is why most Texans put lift kits on their trucks. I’m not sure how to safely remove a vehicle from a spot like this. Maybe you could stick ramps behind the front wheels and try to back up, or lift the rear somehow and push it forward. Maybe a helicopter with a harness could airlift it to safety.
The parking lot isn’t exactly a smart design either.
Install a lift kit on front first, then install larger tires, and drive off it. 😉
Reminds me of the lady in a ‘burban that my friend hit in Chicago. He was in the left lane of a 2 lane per direction road, and the lady was in the right lane about a car length ahead of him. She decided she was going the wrong direction and decided suddenly she was going to swerve across his lane and try to jump the raised median to flip a U-turn.
He of course T-boned her hard. She got out of her car screaming how he had almost killed her two kids, who were in the back watching a DVD. Then the cops showed up and of course immediately sided with my friend. Then the husband of said woman showed up and tried to scream at my friend about almost killing his idiot wife and the cops shut him down hard, thank god. 😉
Needless to say she was sighted as the party in the wrong and her insurance paid for a new front end for his truck.
He got hit a few weeks later, still in Chicago. A guy who was epileptic hadn’t had a seizure in like 5 years so they gave him his license. The guy was driving a brand new Stratus and had a seizure for the first time in 5 years while driving behind my friend, and of course the seizure caused him to floor the gas pedal. He rear ended my friend, who tried to pull forward, and the guy with the pedal still to the metal rammed him a second time, and the Stratus sat under the rear bumper of his truck with both front tires spinning in a smokey burnout still floorboarded until some bystanders pulled him out of his car.
So, his first year living in Chicago, his less than a year old truck got new front and rear ends installed courtesy of two Chicago drivers. I think I’d take Texas, the above is just a redneck accident. 😉
I think the only thing more dangerous than driving in Chicago is walking off a cliff.
