This is why I've been so busy...

Wednesday before last (the 18th), at 2am, a GMC Yukon, driven by a drunk driver at 115mph, decided to make his own offramp into my company's parking lot and into my warehouse...

This is where he ended up

You can see where he entered by the hole to the right.  There was also another wall in between there.


Luckily, and thankfully, he's allright, just a bloody nose.

He can rot in hell.

Holy shiat!   Glad nobody was at work!
On those days when life is a little too much and nothing seems to be going right, I pause for a moment to ponder the wise last words of my grandfather:  "I wonder where the mother bear is?"

Wow, sorry to hear it Scratch.  Hopefully you caused the bloody nose!

Drunk drivers get no respect from me.  Some old washed up loser got drunk and killed my girlfriend in high school.  8 years and I'm still having trouble getting over that one.  f%$k em.

+1.  Not to keep thread-jacking, but the guy who killed my lady also killed 2 other high school girls and a mother of 3 (same accident).  He was out of jail 6 months later and back at work.

I agree....I hate drunk drivers.  I've lost too many friends to them.

I can understand everybody's displeasure in drunks, as it turns out this guy doesn't have any insurance, which makes him even more of a loser.

Pandy, knowing that at least 50% of all drivers in east side San Jose do not have insurance, do you have uninsured motorist?  I finally got a finished pipe to put on and am seriously looking forward to adding uninsured motorist to my insurance.

Now at work, I have been asked to curb my internet use.

Was that 115mph "indicated" or "radar gun clocked"? Hahahhahah just being a smartass!
I hate that when I see it on here......like it makes a difference.

On another note.......down here in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, I can guarantee you that a lot of drivers don't have insurance or have "fly by night" coverage. I have always carried "uninsured motorist" coverage.  And..........AND........there are pos (pieces of shaZam!) cars EVERYWHERE. Smoking. Windshields broken out. Lights not working. Hell, I guess somebody somewhere considers them "victims". Nothing is done. They never "crack the hood" on that pos unless it quits. Loud ass pos non-music and an ugly ass pos car. But "they" can afford that 1500 dollar gold tooth right up front for all to see. Yeah. They are "just like us". I'd like to throw a big ass old cottonmouth moccasin or a diamondback rattler in one of those open windows (they never run A/C-prob 'cause it never has worked). Yeah..........that gold tooth cost more than that pos car.

May God help us all.
Taxes are Good. Millions that have been on Welfare for the last 30 years are depending on you. Also Millions that are coming over the border each year are depending on YOU.
Also taxes will fix our shitty schools and roads that have been broken for 40+ years.

You really don't get it do you???

Old Mr. Wilson

One more thing. It ain't a bad idea to carry a disposable camera with you (GS500 or auto).
One of my working comrades was in Wally World and had a "carload" in front of him slam on brakes. By the time the pigs got there, they were all either leaning against the car holding their necks or lying on the pavement complaining about their backs. The photos proved in court that the rear bumper had hardly received even a scratch, let alone a dent.
They were just parasites in a piece of shaZam! car looking for another host. Don't be a host.

Yes, some of them had Gold Teeth in the front. They probably hadn't finished making payments, hence the attempted lawsuit.

Absolutely. We both carry the highest limits we can (no minimums here), and we're covered for uninsured/underinsured/medical. We're not taking any chances. Hopefully we'll never have to use any of it.

It just amazes me that people are allowed to register cars w/o insurance (that is, if the car is even current on registration and if the driver is even licensed)....  :icon_rolleyes:

Glad no one was in your warehouse when it was used as the drunk's parking garage, scratch....  :kiss3:

allowed to "register cars" without insurance????  It should NOT amaze you. People LIKE YOU
allow this to happen! Pandy..........suckers like YOU are the reason we are the shape that we are in! STOP being such a kitty cat and screwing the rest of us. Stand UP. Call a spade a spade.
