A ford mustang just crashed down the street
I was raking some leaves and I heard a V8 opening up at full throttle in front of my house. Tires screaming, and 1.5 seconds later, BOOOM, SCrAAASH. Uh oh, did not sound good. He lost control, went sideways and hit the curb rather violently. 50 years old guy old looks like he might have been drunk, and had too much power he knew what to do with. I strictly have no sympathy for that moron. The speed limit is 35 on that street. I heard he is from the neighborhood too...frickin idiot should have known better. He walked apparently unscathed. He`s the one with the green jacket on the picture.

If he'd had the good sense to buy a Porsche instead of a Mustang, this never would have happened.

Was he lucky or just everyone else within a 10..20..30 mile radius?

I would be willing to bet that there isn't a thing anyone could say or do to make that guy feel any stupider than he already does.
I am very glad no one had to suffer for him to get that not so free lesson. |

Well, it turns out that the dummy is my obnoxious neighbor, the one who has loud parties in the summer, shouts obscenities in his backyard, and revs his engines several times a week. He did not get too far on his joy ride this time. LOL. The Stang is now parked in his driveway, the tow was like 200 yards

Sadly, though...he'll be right back with another loud car, the loud parties and obnoxious behavior. These types never change. The only thing that stops this behavior is their brain matter scattered on the roadway. Oh well...better luck next time. |

They say that most accidents happen close to home, but usually not 200 yards.

The cops dragged the lake after she disappeared 12 yrs. ago, but didn't find the car. They were recently using new sonar equipment to look for another missing person and discovered her car (and bones). They say most accidents happen within 5 miles of home. I guess I should move at least 6 miles, then. |

To be more exact, he may have crashed 500 yards from his house (I am not very familiar with yards). Regardless, I would personally try to avoid crashing my car in front of all my neighbors, if I was planning on driving stupid.

Hmmm... there's an idea. Aurelien, do you know anyone who can befriend him and get him interested in a Japanese crotch rocket?
