I75 TA in ditch

Chris Ja · 07-15-2002, 01:30 PM

I was on I75 Fri and saw a black TA in ditch between Macomb Mall and Rochester Rd north bound. I was heading south at time. Hope it wasn't anyone from the board.
Also saw a pewter SS with slp exhaust out center rear when I was going north who wanted to race. I had wife and kids in the car so that wasn't going to happen. I would have been in the dog house. I was driving the white WS6 Formula. Was that anyone from the board.

You must mean Oakland mall.

I did see one out there on the way home.
It was between Big Beaver and Crooks Rd. on the northbound side of I75. Tail end in the ditch first a ways up from the Big Beaver northbound merge lane.

That's the one nice thing about having the car in the shop at the moment... I know it wasn't me in the ditch this time.

Hopefully who ever it was is OK. It didn't look too bad from what I saw. Perhaps a defensive move to avoid contact caused them to get rear down in the grass and spun around in tail first.

Yes Jack you are right.
That was the car. Tail in the ditch. I wanted to stop but I was going south. I could not see very much just the nose. Hopefully who ever it was is alright.

I saw it on the news. Scott Lewis reported that drag racers lost control and ran down a bus full of 1st graders on their way home from the animal shelter.

Then they showed some Fast and Furious footage.

Yea, and now they are suing Firestone, because if the front right tire would have exploded as it does on film, no innocents would have been hurt, and the car would have veered safely in the ditch.

They are also calling in Figer and the NAACP because the driver was black and everytime something bad happens to a black fellow it MUST have been racist.

Just kidding and No I am NOT racist. Just bothers me that SOOOO much is blamed on racism when in reality it had nothing to do with it.
