Default Saw a 4 runner go airborne and almost kill a few people

We were out on Haynes Blvd . Just as we pull up we get to see a TRD S/C 4 runner running. We get out and a cop does a drive thru so we leave and go to Old Gentilly. Right as we pull up and get out , I walk out to the street and and look down the street as i start the camera. I see something that didnt process right as the girl next to me asked if i saw that 4 runner go airborne!? I focus the camera down there and zoom in on it as it comes to a stop hitting a few cars! I told everybody there that i think we need to go before the cops show cuz most were younger guys with no street experience.
We left and videoed the wreck as we leave. The 4 runner was running a civic and a Aurora was in the left lane trying to turn in to park. The guy in the 4 runner didnt see him and nailed him on the back left corner. He had ripped the guys left rear tire clean off the car somehow and sent is somewhere! Plus due to the height of the 4 runner and the lowered trunk line of the Aurora the 4 runner went clean over the car and went airborne!
The Olds went counter clockwise into a spin and hit a curb but missed people. The 4 runner landed on its taillight and i swear it gutted it at the hatch like the Jaws of Life! As the runner came to a stop it hit about 8 people and , I think, 5-6 cars as it spun.
I just tried to post the site it was on in the Times Picayune but couldnt find it. I got video and I can post pics if anybody wants to see ( into that stuff). If i remember right it was about 9 people hurt and like 7 sent to the hospital!
And in the same area we have seen a Blue Focus force a 3 day old WS-6 into a ditch that was racing my buddies Mustake ,panic stop a 240 sx,and force a Camaro into a 4 wheel lock up due to the Focus drivers bad driving. I dont know if this ***** got a beat down but we've never seen it and havent seen him since the 3rd incident!

For Christ sake, it's an SUV. The same **** happens to us in Jacksonville now and again. Morons **** around and do donuts in their pickup trucks and attract the cops. One night, the cops set up a road block on a one way in, one way out road because of a schmuck in an SUV doing donuts in a gas station parking lot and not paying for his gas. We were lucky we didn't all get arrested. Why can't us racers race in peace without having to deal with people like this screwing up our good time. There's my 2 cents.

Oh.
My.
GOD.

Don't even get the Ex-S started on this ****. What the **** is up with these 'tards in their overstuffed bitch-*** farm vehicles?

You wouldn't believe the **** I routinely get from drooling idiots in pickups and upwardly p-m-s-ing broads in their S U V's. There hasn't been a single confrontation where I haven't totally stomped the perpetrator into the ground - but what sort of satisfaction can you get from bitch-slapping a 5000-lb posermobile?

At least a pickup can be justified with a proper payload. S U V's, on the other hand, ain't good for matching station wagon cargo and passenger room, ain't good for gas mileage, ain't good for performance, ain't EVEN good for offroading, ain't good for showing any sort of taste, ain't good for demonstrating the palest iota of intelligence, ain't good for staying upright when a drastically overworked tire lets go, ain't good for ****.

It's just totally beyond my comprehension. W T F. Do we go charging offroad with the latest jacked-up X-terra in our C5's? Do we try throwing hay bales or grand pianos in the backs of our F-cars??

NO.

'Cause we ain't STUPID!

So what the HELL are these bloated parade floats doing playing REAL CAR GAMES? Is it that same halfwit mentality that actually leaves a driver in shock when his Explorer flips? They kill me, these lemming S U V-crusted morons. Take Ford to court, get a big cash settlement, and go buy a ******* ESCALADE!

Picture a sledgehammer, people. How is it more likely to stand stable? On the handle, with its head up in the air? Or on its head, heavy part down on the ground? If you can't figure this out, DON'T HURT YOURSELF by DRIVING AN S U V. Or even by EATING UNASSISTED.

The left-lane HOGS out during the Thanksgiving travel melee this last weekend. Just try to guess the number of 'em that were S U V's.

From my experience, 80% is conservative!

Maybe the world would be a better place if WE ALL JUST ******' STUCK to what our vehicles are GOOD at.

And that means the RIGHT-MOST LANES for any lard-*** in his lard-*** S U V!
