Dad shot this page with his rifle. He threw a bullit at :) I still want to throw some paint at it though
I just came upon this literal train wreck while passing through Victoria, Texas. I have no idea what the story is.
What happened: Ben spun, a yellow flag came out so everybody should have been slowing down, two cars pass Ben with no problem, third guy in a Porsche GT3RS was not paying attention to the flags and instead was trying to still race the Porsche in front of him and saw Ben too late. He tried to swerve but ended up hitting Ben between 60-70 MPH head on. The guy didn’t even seem phased that he’d just wrecked his $140,000 car, let alone Ben’s M3. Asked Ben once if he was okay and that was it. Basically, he’s a rich asshole.

I love Wreck sunsets. Tonight I walked down to Wreck to relax on a Spring Day and watch the sunset.
The first picture right after I wrecked. I had to pry open the compartment with a big screwdriver and a hammer to get out the tools I needed to unhitch. Was a rather stressful day.
As soon as I was unhitched, I stuck a note on the trailer that said, "I'm OK; gone hunting," in case any of my buddies beat me back to camp and got worried. But I found them first.
First and last scooter wreck. Don't want to do that again. I walked away. I was wearing a helmut, gloves, jeans and boots.
I was turning from 529 to Fry and I took the turn too fast. I went straight into the ditch! First I thought, "Great, I'm gonna crash." Followed immediately by, DAMN, I'm gonna hit that pole!"
Sure enough. I hurt my knee, but not too bad - more stiff than hurt. The pole however, did some damage. It looks like road rash, but it is not. It is an impact hit - there is no scrapping of the skin - this is bruising or a contusion as my husband put it.
Very nice, warm people stopped to see if I was OK. I should have exchanged business cards or something - I really liked them.
I was very upset with myself, embarrassed and what have you.
I did call my husband and have him ride it home.
There was not much damage to the scooter and very little scratching. The tip of the brake handle broke off is all.
Here is my back - no this is the not the shirt I was wearing at the time!
Out with the Sunday Club this week to Sully Island. Spent quite some time with this wreck but wasn't happy with result. This is the best I could manage.
It would appear no one is certain what the wreck is the remains of, some think it's a wooden ship the 'Friendship" others a Pilot Cutter. Load of old wood and seaweed to me.
