Whoah, Big Penis You Have

My GF's family was in town (15 Puerto Ricans), and we piled into three cars to get up to the Fourth of July fireworks show in Anthem.

She was in the first car, I was in the second. We were on Pyle, headed eastbound and stopped at the light on Maryland. Next to my GF was a blinged out BMW. Custom rims, tires, no lincense plate, etc.

The light turned green and the BMW peeled out and took off. Okay, we figured he was just being a jackass, but whatever, no harm done.

We trained up to Spencer... At that intersection we saw a hopped up BMW that'd hit two other cars. Bounced off an SUV and them slammed into a sedan.

No one looked seriously injured, so we kept on our way. The general sentiment was that we would not have mourned the death of the BMW driver.

The moral: peeling out isn't bad. A quick race up to speed isn't really bad. But once you get up to the speed limit, make sure to stop gaining speed. And for heaven's sake: watch the heck out for things you may hit. We don't care if you die, but please don't kill someone innocent.

Drunky Morning

I came up behind a generic white sedan sitting at the red light waiting to turn onto the airport connector from Russell. The light turned green. Cars in front of him started to go. He didn't. So I honked, assuming he's distracted by a cell phone or some such.

After the left turn onto the connector, he weaved around a bit and darn near ricocheted off the retaining wall. I backed off a bit to give him room - clearly distracted.

Once we get into the tunnel he careened across the right lane and bounced off the wall of the tunnel. Oh... Okay... He wasn't distracted, he was drunk. Lots of people honked at him and flashed their lights. Eventually he kind of motored onto 215. That was the last I saw of him.

Drunk enough at 7:00 AM on a weekday that he ran his car off a wall, damaged it, and just kept going. He'll probably be pissed when he sobers up.
