OH OH! and how many exhaust tips you think our cars can fit?

And lastly I'll pick up about a bazillion stickers to complete the look!

I'm gonna be fighting the hunnies off with a stick!

What the hell happened there?
Husband - "I want some stickers on the car"
Wife - "OK sweetie but just a few on the windshield and hood. None past the front of the doors"
Husband - "Yes dear"

I am just now realizing that rattle cans were used to tag that civic and not stickers... still though, I've seen worse.

You didn't get the memo about the week of silence?

Here's a random experience for you....

I was a passenger going to lunch yesterday when a Dodge minivan in the lane about 4 car links in front of us veers right at 50 or so miles an hour, clips a road sign, becomes airborne over a ditch never slowing down. The car ends up on the right side of the ditch wheels spinning full speed with its nose buried in the end of the ditch.

This is the location that it occurred. https://goo.gl/maps/v7BUp You have to look at it to see how lucky everyone was.

The ditch is much deeper than it looks, her entire car was on the right side of the ditch laying on its side up against the embankment.

Our car was first on the scene. The lady driver had a seizure. When she came out of it (still in the car because we couldn't get in) she appeared to not have a scratch on her although I'm sure she has a concussion. The airbags didn't deploy I suspect because the bottom of the car took most of the impact.

The odd (miraculous) part is if she had run off the road 50 feet earlier or later she would have plowed through the car wash or the cash station parking lot which was packed with people and cars at lunchtime. Someone would have died had she not hit that ditch.

First responders asked us (well everyone that was hangind around, there were probably a dozen folks from the two businesses there that rushed out to help) to leave once they got there so I'm not sure the final result. The car was gone within 30 minutes.

Geez, that's crazy. It is extraordinary how an unfortunate event could have been worse. At least you tried to help and hopefully the driver makes a decent recovery.

That reminds me, even though you may want to help someone, sometimes people end up suing people for trying. Be careful about that.

Yea, all we were trying to do is make sure the car was turned off and emergency services showed up. Given the impact, we would not have dared tried to move her.

Not for me! Our Canadian Week of Silence is a month ahead of the US.

I just haven't had any random thoughts as they have all been planned and categorized.

Anyone freak the fuck out not being able to find your keys in the morning? Then you find them in the jeans you're wearing, but they're not in your pocket you put the keys in?

Or am I just a fucking idiot?
