    The officer said that the driver of the Chrystler has had 23 previous traffic violations, 7 of which for speeding, other for not having a license or ID, and several blocking violations.

    @Yuriy Melnik: Good to know - so this isn't the first time the driver was asking for it.


    Almost always a shame about the passenger, though.

    I rarely ever see Crossfires on the road, yet every time I see one its being hotrodded by some idiot. I think the cars all have some sort of mind control over the drivers that turns them into hoon-zombies.

    I saw "crossfire" and assumed it was a gunfight.

    This is a disturbing reminder of how instantaneously things can change forever. Glad the driver survived.

    @SirNotAppearing:The Crossfire driver was thinking of Megan Fox, while drunk on Morning Scotch. After the collision, the Crossfire looked like it had been hammered a bit too hard by a dragon. The Crossfire was never repaired because of Chryslers lack of cotomer servis. A Mr. Roy Wort was seen fleeing the scene of the accident, along with an accomplice, believed to be Murliee Martin.

    While preparing to find out the 'Ring time of his Crossfire, Gustav was not really driving the Crossfire because in Soviet Russia, Crossfire drives YOU! Which is a good thing, because Gustav was drunk on breakfast scotch and couldn't get his mind off Megan Fox. WHAM! Gustav is now as dead as the 2 hookers in the trunk. Viktor, driver of the van, got up and looked at what was left of his van and though, "I hope that'll buff right our or I'm headed to Siberia. That's ok, he thought, "I'll just blame Canada. Or Charles." He then hacked the road sign to warn others of Zombie Chrylers.

    @Tomsk is leading the search for the preview button: Fack, wrong thread.


    Anyway, the Crossfire driver was rushing to pick up the Fiero-based kit car he bought on Craigslist along with a dead hooker who looks like Megan Fox in the trunk and a painting of Wes' ass on the front passenger seat. The driver then reached down to get his bottle of breakfast scotch as someone on the radio said, "I. Blame. Charles." When he looked and saw a collision with the truck was imminent, all he could do was yell the first word that came into his head: "Dragon!"


    Emergency crews set a new Ring time trying to get there, but it was too late. A blown tranny who witnessed the accident was overheard saying, "That'll buff right out."
