Exited I10 onto Pecos Road Westbound "at a high rate of speed".



For calibration, I easily take it at 80+ MPH.



Lost it on the ramp, crossed a depressed median onto Pecos Road Eastbound and hit a BIG dump truck head-on.



Car engine freewheeled for about 100 yards before stopping ;-)



Driver VERY dead.

How about this one?

The short person is our friend Nina. The crane started down her street with the brakes set to "work" mode instead of "drive" mode or something, and stopped right in front of her house. Nobody was hurt.

Yes, but your car has proper suspension. American cars aren't well known for their drivability.

No other info so far. My guess would be DUI :-(

By Arizona law, all such deaths require autopsy plus testing for DUI. ...Jim Thompson

Hopefully no children, a Darwin award winner, no question.

Newer ones are, but that vintage Lincoln was, as my wife describes such vehicles, "mooshy" ;-)

We had such as a loaner when the '96 Q45 was hit by a red-light runner. ...Jim Thompson

Where do you totally retarded, know nothing foriegn fucktards get this total horseshit from?

Car demonstrations and first hand information. Lately I was waiting behind a Hummer and couldn't help noticing it has the same suspension system as a postal carriage. There is no way to take a turn quickly or to correct a spin with that sort of suspension system.

In picking a fad semi-domestication of a military vehicle you couldn't have chosen a more ridiculous example if you had tried.

Ford F150 any better? Same story...

Only if you're under the delusion that a pickup truck is a 'car'.

At the rate your 'story' is going you'll be picking busses and tractor trailer rigs next.
