i am in white trash heaven

i love life, i have pictures of one flipping over on the I-87 near albany....i shot them and made my sister grab the wheel, ahh memories

that movie was lame, although the concept of everything mechanical coming alive to destroy the human race was friggin badass!

haha that movie was so funny

awesome movie. haha.

I wish Big Rigs had their own highways to drive on, they are fucking scary.

they do in northern NH.
but they are 2x as wide.

have you ever seen a truck up one of those runaway truck ramps? they get buried up to the window on the door. i want to see that happen. one of the best crashes is one on Worlds Wildest Police Videos where some truck t-bones a pickup truck at like 80. fucking awesome.

i love the french writing "oupss smash au dock" or "en flammes!" i can picture that french guy that was on Sealab 2021 saying that. bahahaha

A semi-trailer driver -- a truckie -- was taking loads between Melbourne and Adelaide. Just outside Adelaide the highway descends a range of hills, including a notorious hairpin bend called "The Devil's Elbow." Crash

Scattered all through this part of the hills are short uphill safety ramps where a truck with failed brakes can roll in for an emergency stop.

One day a truckie was just approaching Eagle on the Hill, a couple of miles above The Devil's Elbow, when he lost his brakes. It's a busy road, and he had a full load on board. Unable to slow down, he careered along, flashing his lights and blaring the horn, swerving all over the road as he wrestled with the truck.

Miraculously, he kept on the road, and cars cleared out of his way. If he could keep the truck upright and get around The Devil's Elbow, there was a safety ramp a few hundred yards beyond.

By a miracle, he made it around the bend without rolling over, and turned the speeding truck off onto the safety ramp.

There, halfway up, was a family having a picnic.

oh damn!
