Here is what a 12th gen looks like after getting hit head on at 90mph by a Yukon, F150 was traveling 70 mph.

Happened on the North side of town today just outside of the city limits. Both dead.

That makes me sick to see something like that. I lost an Uncle like that in the 60's, head on crash with his 2 sons in the car. Three people in the other car. Everyone walked away except my Uncle, he died on the scene.

My condolences to the families for their losses.

The woman had to have been suicidal, she left Grape Creek about 12 miles north of town and traveled all the way in the wrong direction. They said numerous people were calling 911 to report her but the cops couldn't get there in time. Last i heard there were 5 accident's with people trying to avoid her, most running into guard rails or through the median to miss her. One guy rolled his truck to avoid her. One witness stated he was running 90 mph at one time next to her on the right side of the road and she was pulling away from him.

Very Crazy and sad.

That is a very sad situation. Lost a friend from high school who got high and decided to run down the wrong side of the road, ended the same way.

I encountered a drunk like that one night, he was going the wrong way on the freeway. He wasn't going very fast though. I was in the fast lane and so was he, I flashed my lights and moved over to the right 1 lane and he did too. Flashed them some more again and moved over to the right again, so did he. I was slowing down the whole time and kept going right. When he passed me I was in the dirt outside of the emergency lane and he was in the emergency lane. I looked at him as he went by and he had no idea I was even there, totally blind drunk.

That was before cell phones, so I stopped at the closest pay phone and called 911. Got home and gave the wife and kids a real big hug..........scared the stuffin's out of me.

Only good thing was it was late at night and there wasn't any traffic on the road.

God looks after orphans and idiots.......and I know who my parents are!

Dip looks good. It's a bit "loud" for my tastes, but if you like it, that's what matters

No worries, I know it's not for everyone. Thankfully it looks much darker in person. without direct sunlight on it, I think it's just right.

I didn't mod the original just in case I ever want to go back.:lol

I wish this damn cavalier had Anti Lock brakes.. I'm going to ruin the new tires with all the sliding when i have to dodge the idiots . Seems like every week the go for a intersection slide.

This was today. Came pretty close to plowing in to him. Notice all the smoke on the right side

If I had one of those cameras I'd never be able to post any of the vids. I'm cussing like a trucker when it just LOOKS like someone's going to do something stupid

I've had to work on it, especially having my 5 year old with me. He soaks up the words he's not suppose to say, then I get in trouble

Only time I haven't been able to control my mouth or temper was when the Dodge almost hit me head on. I wanted to take him out of the truck and knock some sense in him. Ended up I said a choice words and drove off. Volume muted for a reason

I think you posted the video of the Dodge. IIRC the whole video was muted



Edit: Yup, that's the video I was thinking of
