What the heck is a Taurus X ???




Low profile tires make every thing sportier. :cuckoo:




New driving/riding gloves and a very strong cigar (cedar lined metal tube), had to put out the cigar by the time I had it fully lit.

if you mean the car, yea I'd say that.

Came over a pretty modest streams bridge, got a bit of a wiggle on ( i imagine)
spun in the road, hit the railway bridge wall backwards & flipped vertically up into the air landing down that railway bank

not a scratch,





lucky guy
