Read a news article from the weekend where a semi lost a set of duals on the interstate near metro Minneapolis and the duals struck another vehicle (Nissan Rogue) and killed two people in it. Not really much more info than that being published so isn't really worth linking to the article. But, damn, that would be a sucky way to go.

Only in Miami Florida. 10/16/2023 This guy after passing the street light almost hit center medium with the plywood on the left side of the van. Straight out of Home Depot. Home Depot gives you red flags but he said hell no that’s for wimps.

When I see people loading a vehicle like this at Lowes Depot, I can never help myself from commenting to them, "nice truck"!

Recently saw one guy loading 16 ft. 2x4's thru the sunroof of his sedan, with the fore end pointing up at least 10 feet into the air in front of the vehicle. I could only imagine him catching that on an overpass or low drive-thru window awning. I yelled, "nice truck", and he just smiled and nodded.

Very few things over a public highway are 10' or less clearance.
I somehow find it hard to believe that guy was headed to the Mickie D's drive through.

That has happened twice on I-75 here this year. Once on the Ohio side, once on the Kentucky side. Fatalities both times.

Those front wheel drive Escorts were tiny cars, esp a 2 dr.

My brother in law had one when he dated my oldest sister.

And a neighbour has one, an 87 1.3 three door swapped with a 2 liter Blacktop engine from a Mondeo. 135hp is pretty wild for an 800kg car.

I was beside a semi on I-65 who had a right rear drive tire blow on his tractor. Rubber flew everywhere around my car. We pulled over. Looked at his truck. Looked at my car. Couldn't find any damage to my car. I didn't hear anything hit, just rubber flying over my hood. Shook hands and I went on my way.

Loose tires are extremely dangerous especially when they start bouncing.
