[DeTomaso] Fwd: Re: NPC: SUV

Mon Sep 26 15:37:34 EDT 2011

I saw the same thing with a cement mixer.

It was going 45mph and an airhead pulled out in front of him.  I watched the whole thing.  The truck narrowly missed him, but didn't blow his horn.  I thought I was going to see a really bad accident.
