When the muscle car decided to run the red light was it being pursued by a violent gun?

Precisely: Muscle car, violent guns -- rage of the machine, and to he-ll with personal responsibility, that's raccccisttt!!!

“Can’t wait for 55mph again....

Always said anybody who supports 55 should have to drive across Kansas.”

I’ve done that, I saw the state tree. Not an example of the state tree, THE State Tree.

Kansas, miles and miles of nothing. The whole state is boring and flat when you’re on the interstate.

There was an accident involving a Challenger here a few months ago. One dead, power knocked out to 2000 customers for 14 hours.

Seems they don’t corner too well, the 25MPH road curved and the Challenger going 65MPH at 2am didn’t.

Knocked a parked car into a power pole and the cops said the driver wasn’t wearing a seatbelt so I suspect that he was ejected from the vehicle.

Developing the sports arena has led to so many incidents. The players aren’t a disciplined group. Speeding, drugs, etc. Now they want more sports teams. When the lights turn green, look before you hit the pedal.

"Ruggs is out on bail. Not sure when the trial is but with Covid it could be years away."

Ruggs might get some kind of special treatment, but I do know that justice is being dispensed pretty routinely in Vegas, although much of it via Zoom. I have a son who is a lawyer there, and he stays plenty busy.

I was surprised while staying in Billings, MT. Quickly learned that 2 to 3 cars going through a light after it changed was the cultural norm.

Of course that meant I had to follow suit or risk getting rear-ended!

Hear in Seattle the left-turns are terrible. Light turns green (arrow). First car gets off their phone and goes many seconds later.

3 or 4 car lengths later the second car goes.

Car 3 is 2 car lengths away. I’m right on their tail hoping to make the light.

Of course I’m the only one that actually turns into the left lane. The rest of them have gone into the right lane of the two lane road. But you have to be careful because that is often temporary until they swing back into the left lane.

“I’ve noticed more people blowing through red lights since Brandon usurped the presidency. It’s part of the overall increase in lawlessness that the rats encourage.”

The local “Amish” here in Montgomerdishu (Montgomery AL) have been lawless since empERROR zero, and have now doubled down since the poverty pimpin’, race hustlin’ mayor reed took office.
