Guy flew by me in a brodozer F-250 in the left lane, hit the bridge, did a perfect 990* spin, put his grill into the guard rail, did a 270* spin and put the driver's side into the rail, ground to a halt pointing the wrong way. Still had the window sticker on it, too new for license plates.

Yep, I was here for that. It was winter of 95 or maybe 96. At least in Houston the guy could say "but I've never driven in cold conditions like this," but it was mostly due to "This truck is bad-arsed, it doesn't have to slow down for anything."
