Impala skid marks from left lane to right then back across all lanes. Had to be going over 90 when mess started by length of skid marks and distance traveled. Used guardrail as ramp to Bo Duke over the median and land in front of Tesla.
Both cars should be a tribute for car safety as both have survivable space in the vehicle.
4 of the 5 in the Impala were dead at scene and the other is iffy. No one in Impala had seat belts. Both people and a dog were in the Tesla. People in Tesla were reported to have "lift threatening" injuries but the radio news expects them to be released soon. I don't know who is correct on that.
When I went by in early light the police had not removed all the bodies. Only covered them. Some were a long ways from the car.

Please where your seat belt.
Dog was OK.


I'll probably take another route home this evening.
"All five people inside were ejected from the car". Seriously, wearing seat belts should be done just from muscle memory now a days....u know, not even thinkin about it.

But Mann, that was a nasty one noobs.

Sometime you have to search the web for a reference as you know they ain't gonna believe you unless they see it written by an expert.
I don't wanna be the "Google everything and post" guy though.

Yea, it's difficult not to shoot a couple coats on them when they're ready to paint.

Looks great white!

Yea, that's annoying. We already have one of those guys here. Even though he googles first, it's less than accurate the majority of the time. That just makes it that more apparent of what he's doing..... yea annoying..

Yea you're most likley clueless....White knows who I'm talking about lol.

Well, I finally decided to pull out my Motorhome from storage. That boy has been sitting since July 2013. After my wife passed, I didn't have any interest in using it. Damn thing only has 60k miles total on it. I did finda broken side window but I'll just pull the frame, take it apart and replace the broken section. I've done enough of them when I was running an RV sales and service center. That pig is sure dirty. LOL

I would bet that a big, mostly empty state like Alaska has some really good spots to get away get lost for a while.
Any good stories?

It seriously took that dude longer to type his lame duck response than a 6 second google search.

Yep... and I figured, while I'm inhaling paint....



I had to use a different brand of clear coat on these.... and well, it's not as nice of a finish. I'll probably be the only one who notices though.

Damn, AK... someone got some s4!t all over the front of your RV..... see:



Looks like about an 89ish? We had an 89 box truck at work with a Chevy van front.... easily the worst brakes ever.

This looks dang nice though, AK.... all kidding aside. Looks like it's ready for some lovin'.

It's a 90. 60k with 350 k motor and 400TH and Dana. It's not bad for a (spit sputter gasp) Chevy LOL Hit on the second rev of the starter after almost 8 years. I got lucky when I bought this. Too bad the wife didn't get to enjoy it.
