Funniest damn accident I have ever seen

On the way home from work today I was in the cut out to make the left turn into my development. This cut out is often used by people making a U-Turn on this road. Ahead of me is a slick little piece of Italian Automotive Sculpture. I can see two heads through the window as the driver revs his engine as he waits for a clear spot in the traffic. Finally he gets a large openeing and pops the clutch as he hammers the gas. His tires spin and the car jumps into a U-Turn, fishtailing all over the road with the rear wheels smoking as he holds down the gas.

Instead of straightening out he keeps fishtailing and spinning. To my surprise he does a complete 360 and beyond before he finally straightens the wheels and shoots past us and up onto the median with a crunch. He's high centered the the low slung sports car and sits there for a minute spinning his tires in an attempt to keep going before finally giving up. I'm sitting there in shock and awe watching this.

Finally he shuts down the car and the passenger pops out cursing a blue streak. Oh is this young lady pissed off and she's letting the driver know all about it, (as well as the entire neighborhood) in a high pitched screech. She didn't wind down until the police showed up.

The funniest part was when the owner of the car showed up and reclaimed it from what I figured out had to have been his younger son. The words he used were definately not fit to use in the boardroom.

Wow, people sometimes...


Though I have to say, I'd be pissed off too if someone driving me around showed that little regard for my safety in favor of being such a complete idiot. :rolleyes:
 
I think I am not the first to say, Cat, you are a magnet for weird stuff! Just keep clear of the idiots, ok?:rose: Sending your wife a kiss:kiss:

Lisa, look at where I live. There are only two places that are stranger in the United States. New York City and Miami.

Well, there's also LA, E. St Louis, New Jersey.... I could go on, but there are not so many places where there is someone paying attention.;)

Maybe that's the thing right there. I pay attention and I look on what happens around me with a warped sense of humor.

Hahahaha--what sort of an idiot is his daddy to let that twerp even sit in that car.

Half the adults that own Lambo's/Ferrari's/Maserati's etc. can't drive 'em either and are constantly crashing.

Morons.
 
Some years ago, the wife and I were taking an evening walk. As we sauntered down the sidewalk, some twerp in an overpowered muscle-car came up next to us at a stop sign. He proceeded to "impress" us by gunning the engine and then popped the clutch. The drive shaft popped right off the rear of the tranny and gouged a groove in the street to a shower of sparks. We guffawed for the next block.

Gotta love those poorly maintained u-joints. :D
 
L.A. has its share of weird accidents-- I witnessed two Beverly Hills matrons crunch into each other at about 0.5 miles an hour. It was at a four-way stop sign. One was going straight across, the other was making a left, and both of them were going to go first, by god! There were cars at all four stops, just watching, as these two women, staring each other dead in the eye, played this snail-paced game of chicken.

I can still remember the sound of the crunch, and how both of them opened their mouths in synchronised screams of rage-- and the way the interior of each watching car became full of motion, as the occupants exploded into laughter.

It occurred to me, that each of these women had been the Sole Ruler Of The Universe, up until that moment...

LOL Yup, you live in BH, the world is supposed to kowtow to you. Tell us, were they in Benz or Beemers?

And here I thought anything but bestiality and pedophilia went here...

I live in New Jersey, and I don't see nearly half as much weird stuff as Cat does.

The weirdest accident that I saw was a minivan upside down on top of a station wagon. I have no idea how it got there. They were on a side street to the highway, and I just don't see any way to propel a minivan upside down onto the wagon like that. It shouldn't have happened, and I wish I had seen it. I am sure it was impressive.
