(SUV On CSU Lot Flips)
FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- A driver doing "doughnuts" in a parking lot near the Colorado State University campus was killed Wednesday night when his vehicle flipped and crashed.
The incident occurred at about 8 p.m. in the parking lot of CSU's Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratory.
A witness told the Fort Collins Coloradan that the driver pulled into the parking lot and then gunned the accelerator.
The driver was thrown from behind the wheel to the passenger side and then out the window, witnesses said. The vehicle flipped and partially rolled over the victim, a CSU spokesman said.
Three other people in the Ford Explorer were not hurt.
All of the occupants were in their late teens or early 20s. The victim has not been identified. Police are investigating whether drugs or alcohol played a role.
. I have a 612 which gets even more french fries when you pull up to McDonald's and will leave the GT standing Each has an active suspension system but the X5 gives you the most 'here we go' because it is up off the ground ... but it corrects amazingly well this my second and I'm looking at colors for the third
.
You eat at McDs? LOL ... The overall storage capacity for the new X5 is 75.2 cu. ft., an eight percent improvement over the previous model ...and they’ve lightened it up by 1K lbs; Q7 Maximum Cargo Volume is 88.7 cu.ft....and the Q7 has better braking than the X5 ...I’m leaning toward the Audi ... but I hate the way it looks.
That’s okay. I’m sure you did it for my own good. Thanks, FRiend. (((HUGS)))
Btw, were you engaging in what’s known as “tough love?”
Yes I did do it for your own good! I didn’t want to see you fall prey to the insidious disease of liberalism. I guess you could call it “tough love”!;) I wasn’t too tough, tho, was I? I’m glad to see you survived!:-)
Only slightly bruised. When I think of the alternative you plucked me from, just in the nick of time, oh, it’s just too horrible to describe! Thank you, fellow FReeper!
LOL! You are most welcome FReeper FRiend!! See what brown can do for you! I love your sense of humor.
Super Brownie to the rescue! Saving the world from liberalism, one FReeper at a time.
:) I think you would have done just fine all by yourself! I get the feeling you’re a pretty smart cookie!
I have to laugh, tho. Have you ever noticed how many news headlines do blame the SUVs for the accidents? Rush highlights a lot of them on his show.
Yep. I’ve been noticing the misplaced blame since long before “culprits” were SUVs. Remember when all we had was network news? Somebody was stabbed to death, and the picture over the anchor’s shoulder was a handgun. The anchor would be talking about how the knife killed the victim. And when all was said and done, it turned out the “victim” was stabbed with his own knife by the person he was trying to rob. And they had to use the phrase “robbery gone wrong.”
The last thing the libs want to do is blame those responsible. They have an agenda and that won’t move their agenda forward. Your example is right on. They use tactics that are too subtle for most people to pick up on. Constant use of those tactics eventually work like a brainwashing effect on the masses. Thank God for this site and the people on it for being vigilant about exposing them. Good job!
DOH!!
Donuts kill, donchaknow!
Yes, Kill the donuts before they kill us all!! (or is that do donuts before they do you?)
I should have done the donut...I should have.
From the story;
“A driver doing “doughnuts” in a parking lot near the Colorado State University campus was killed Wednesday night when his vehicle flipped and crashed”
Oops! Don’t do donuts. Disregard the second one. Doing donuts does kill.
