Glad everyone was ok, half of me wants to say you deserved it for parking like an asshole at timmy hos.

By the way is that railroad crossing in lancaster near a cemetary? My 87 bronco took that much better 🙂 I was a tard too in high school.

Its my rule, for me. You can do what you want, but when it gets really out of shape some day, you might think of me.

That was the worst video I’ve ever seen in my life. Why would you post that? I had to force myself to get past 5 seconds.

What a surprise, another horrid decision by these captains of awesome.

I want my 2 minutes back.

The point of the video was to get a message across to not do stupid things and it does that. The acting is not time accurate. I’m suprised you didn’t notice the BB. I’m confused about the smiling comment. You mean in the acting or…? Live and learn.

I thought about not posting this video here because there would be stupid comments from people like yourself but I said fuck it. Maybe this will change one person from doing stuff when they don’t know where they are.

negative its right between darien (genesee) and alden (erie) Hence the term county line road. It runs right between clinton and broadway.

I remember driving by there on my way to work right after the accident.

Do I street race? Yes. Do I try to be smarter about it? Yes. I don’t go flying around random streets. I’ll do some pulls on the highway where traffic is nonexistant and that’s it. I don’t do more then 5 mph over if someone is with me.

I don’t know the details aside from the fact that they did sue. If they won or not I’m not sure.
