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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
