Nice pony car

[gridlore]

A '67, right? Love the Clearwater Aqua Metallic paint job. And the white interior looked cherry! Great day to go out with the top down and enjoy the spring weather. Yeah, I got a great look at your car as you blew right through a red light in front of my nearly-fully loaded truck. I massed about 10 tons and was doing 45 through my green light when you came out of nowhere.

Lucky for you, I have decent reactions and my brakes are good. That clanging sound you heard was my entire load following the laws of physics.

Had I not seen you in time, I would have killed you. Worse, I would have totaled that classic car.

I'm glad you didn't damage the Mustang. As to the driver - well, that would have been natural selection at its finest.

They aren't making new Mustangs (not that model, anyway). New idiots, on the other hand...

...any pair of idiots can make one!

Definitely the '64-'67 era. Nobody said beautiful cars have to have smart people driving them unfortunately. I'm glad no one was hurt.

I hope the driver got a hell of a fright.

observation was once made that when horses were removed from the transportation system, so was that trait known as horse (or common) sense.

a Tragedy indeed! (the car, not the moron!)
