Yeah, one of the times my Mother and I would go to Indianapolis for Christmas and coming back driving through Lexington Ky it was snowing and the roads were worse than in the vid. A Semi passed us and basically made us hydroplane, slid around and down into the median. We were lucky as hell I still get chills when I think about it.

That is so sad. So freaking sad. That reminds me of this one incident, well more like accident. It was around 01-02 when I lived in Raleigh. This guy and girl were on a motorcycle and I can't recall what happened that the girl just fell off the bike, I had two cars ahead of me and the car right behind of the motorcycle hit what seems to be the girls cranium. I caught a glimpse of it and I'm sure the girl didn't survive. Looked very fuged up. There's no way that woman survived, the dude just kept driving and left her there..

There was another accident this time involving a state trooper on a bike, it happened in Raleigh, the dude was chasing someone and he was going way too fast. I saw him fly by me as I was pulling over. The road was turning and he was going too fast he smeared himself on the wall. I caught part of that too and it was gory man,

Holy crap!!!! I still hate driving in weather, because of my wreck last year. I was on the way back from Buffalo, NY and was driving in PA on one of the highway's. It was raining, not that bad, I was still going 5 under the speed limit though as I was in my new car.

My back tire popped and caused my car to hydroplane 3 times, the first two times were light and didn't last very long, the last one took my car off the road and then back across the highway into an embankment that flipped my car twice. All of it happened in like 5 seconds, it was insane.

Bent the frame and tore the car all to hell on the driver side, front fender, hood and roof of the car.

"Odd thing was the passenger side was barely touched, didn't even really have any scratches on it. Both times it flipped it landed on my side."

I still freak out when I'm driving in the rain or snow and that was last February.

Those clips remind me of all of the reasons I had to quit a job I loved because it had 2 hours a day on 40/85 between G'boro and RTP.

Drove it every day for 1.5 years and saw 12-15 people die and those were just the ones where I saw the impact.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
