Riding to work last night and a driver lays on the horn while buzzing me. about a block ahead they make a hard right into the curb. they nailed it pretty hard too because cars that were coming from behind slowed way down, the hubcap rolled down the street and some other trim was left in the street.

Wow, sounds like that driver may have been a bit impaired. Lucky he didn't have his little depth perception problem when he was passing you.

thought about that too. hopefully they weren't trying a practice swipe. just glad they kept going - probably would have blamed me if the car broke down. gonna try and check the site a little better tonight.

As twisted as those evil kids are, I find it hard to "appreciate" (the irony of?) that video. Sick.

That driver 'better get himself together, darlin' - join the human race'.


Or maybe the OP's just shining us all on?
