Post #24,990 by boxley 1/21/02 9:42:25 AM Reply	more on salvaged cars after saying hullo at 80 mph to six other vehicles in an intersection as well as a brick retaining wall by the gas station. (friend driving I missed this one) he purchased another 1970 charger sans running gear and front end cut both in half and made one servicable unit out of them. Looked good drove straight all by eyeball and feel. My bud is a master craftsman with his hands, carpentry, mechanics etc. He just doesnt care to do it for a living. Too busy living life I guess. thanx, bill My Dreams aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be
Post #25,032 by Ashton 1/21/02 9:07:10 PM Reply	Master craftsman maybe.. But anyone driving through Any 'intersection' at 80 ain't "living life" - he's a menace to all. You don't do 80 'cept on Interstates and.. those precious few remaining legs of normal roads in between ANY 'intersection' these will have. In my judgmental humble opinion, that is. There are no 'accidents' - (save the 1%? mech failures Not due to idiot non-maintenance) - just, usually dumbth of this kind: which took out SIX OTHERS ??? Charger ? As judge I'd sentence him to slammer time + nothing larger than a Geo Metro - for life. Some folk stay 12 for life - should drive cars which limit their damage to their IQ. Ashton Nemesis
Post #25,033 by Meerkat 1/21/02 9:28:32 PM Reply	Similar to what they do with motorcyclists... in so far as a learner rider can only have a bike with <= 250cc engine. If it were practical, limiting the power/engine size of bad drivers' cars could be a good idea. On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.
Post #25,092 by boxley 1/22/02 9:33:58 AM Reply	Why did you assume it was his fault? :) Actually he was doing 80 (too fast I agree) to an intersection on green when a drunk decided he had time to cross the red light. 6 cars was richochets off the first one. There is no such thing as an accident, all such things are errors in judgement. thanx, bill My Dreams aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be
