This shitbox was the highlight of the day today

Saw the aftermath of a guy getting shot. Cops everywhere, guy laying on the sidewalk with a sheet over him

Saw a woman cyclist splatted by an artic in London. Dopey bitch was trying to ride up the inside of it.

>at a red light on my way home from work
>hear some tires screeching in the distance
>a 4x4 truck climbed the curb onto some landscaping and into the parking lot of a Burger King
>truck goes WOT in the parking lot and turns a corner, still at WOT
>think to myself, "oh man, that truck's gonna roll."
>truck's entire left side is 90 degrees vertical and is now sliding
>slams into the only parked car in front of the Burger King

This happened today in Quakertown, PA, pretty sure there's an article floating around. Crazy shit, first time I saw some GTA shit IRL.

Translate to American please

- An upright vacuum in the middle of a 1-lane raised highway interchange ramp.
- I've watched a biker die in a street race. He hit a tree, his helmet+skull shattered and his brain was visible.
- I've watched as latinos at a car meet were sitting in the bed of a truck which was doing donuts, one guy fell off and got run over by said truck.
- I once saw the SUV in front of me get T-boned, it flipped on its roof and slid 15-20 yards/meters on its roof.
- I grew up in Germany and occasionally sportscars would just whizz by at 150+ in the left lane.
- I've been in a 6-car street race with all modded cars on a 4-lane road (we started at a red light with two hondas in the rear b/c they'd obviously hold others up if in front).
- I've been in a rolling caravan of over 100 modded cars.
- I've watched two trucks (both F-150s) roll on their sides when they hit curbs.
- Plenty of supercars, a couple R32/R34 GT-Rs (never a 33, though I did spot an R33 GTS-t in the bahamas once).
- Plenty of dumb accidents where someone thinks their light turned green when it didn't.

Saw an r32 earlier today

>>17000745
I'm guessing an artic is an articulated bus.

I saw a C7 sportwagen on my way to lunch today.

Potholes.

Potholes everywhere I go.

I have no mouth and I must scream.

>an S-10 being pulled out of a lake
>at least a dozen times I've seen groups of ATV's blasting down relatively rural highways
>F-250 flipped in a ditch.

There's some others, but those I found most interesting

I think I saw a running e31 8 series the other day, it must have been a mirage

Neighbor has a Ferrari f360 and a Gallardo, 3 Corvettes and a JDM Evo 9. I live in a blue collar neighborhood.

Saw two burning cargo vans on two different days on the same stretch of road.

Saw a Tacoma get hit by an ambulance and flip 3 times landing on its wheels.

I also saw two cyclists get completely rekt by a semi truck, apparently they were biking from Vancouver to Toronto, this happened in Manitoba.

Also there was this one guy with a lifted pt cruiser convertible on 28 inch rims that had a paintjob that would make xzibit proud.

He saw a female motorcycle rider who was hit by and ice cream van, whilst in London. The woman was trying to get into the ice cream van, in a high speed heist situation, to steal some popsicles.

>>17000647
KEK. Can you describe the driver?

truckerfag here, I spend up to 11 hours a day driving every day. I've seen some shit. Pls be careful out there lads. People are dying.

Most recently I saw a small couch standing upright in-between the fast lane and the lane next to it.

It was around 9:30 pm on a weeknight and cars were slamming there brakes, a Ford SUV behind me locked up and almost hit me. Shit was sketchy.

Saw a semi-truck driver crush a Geo Metro up against another semi in front of it and inbetween the guardrail. Car was mostly crushed and halfway over the guardrail by the time he stopped. The Metro started wailing on the horn, but the truck driver had headphones on. He had to jump out of his car to not get crushed and then started punching the guy's door.

The car was so small he didn't even see him I guess.

Watched firefighters using jaws of life on a Subaru. The person got de-capped, dunno why they were in a rush.

Watched a Jeep slam into a deer at 60 mph. Proceeded to watch the deer get launched over top of said Jeep.

>>17000774
>I've watched a biker die in a street race. He hit a tree, his helmet+skull shattered and his brain was visible.
An upright vacuum gets mentioned first.

>>17001405
tell stories pls

>>17001277
My neighbor for 16 years owned an NSX for at least 10 and I'm not sure if I saw him drive it even once. I ran into him at a restaurant a few months ago and found out that he's selling it. I don't know what year it was or how many miles it had on it, but that thing was CLEAN since he kept it covered all the time.

As I'm sure you guessed, I lived in a very safe neighborhood- hence why he could park an NSX outside for a whole decade and never have it stolen.

>>17001374
Burning those things is a patriotic duty

>>17000774
It's funny, R32 and 34s are so common in Australia that I never think it's anything special to see.

I live in the countryside. I often see tractors with an extra set of tyres taking up ~75% of both lanes.

By law they are required to pull over and let traffic pass, but farmers today are so far up their own ass that they think rules don't apply to them.

I also see plenty of people driving around with unsecured trailers. I.e. a two meter tall heap of garden cuttings only held down with an old rusty bike.

>in the 18 years since I've lived in my house, 16 people have crashed their cars/bikes/UPS truck within 100 feet of my house. 10 of those hit the telephone pole directly across the street from me

Saw a tinnie fly off the roof of an SUV on the freeway and miraculously land on the shoulder instead of someone's car.
Seen a mattress fly off the roof of some station wagon.
Seen someone speed through an intersection with a six pack of beer on their roof that did a little jump as he went over the crown of the road and land neatly back on the roof.
Seen stuff fly forward off an overloaded trailer through the rear window the car towing it because the guy braked too hard.

I have seen a lot of poorly secured loads.

>>17001374
Because it's a Chrysler.
A rad hose blew on a 95° day, dumped all the coolant, and the car overheated before I could even pull over. It happened with no warning, like max of 5 seconds from the POP of the hose to flames from under the hood.

I just let it burn; insurance payout was $3k, I only paid $500 bucks for the shitbox.

I once was cruising down the interstate in my MGB, and a truck in front of me kicked up a chunk of 2x4 that shot like a missile through my windshield. It was an RHD car, had it been LHD, I'd be dead.

I saw a guy try to take a dirt corner at about 10ph in an RX-7. He went through two fences and ended up in a lake.

I once got pulled over and the cop that stopped behind me got rear-ended.

Bike theft thwarted by an obvious racist.

Saw a great dane get run over.

Saw another dog just walking casually into oncoming traffic in a downpour get hit.

Saw a refrigerator box blow out of the back of a truck and it hit my windshield- it had a toolbox in the bottom to "keep it in the truck".

Ran over about dozen ladders on Hwy 880 by San Leandro.

Saw a sledgehammer laying on 101 by Paul Avenue for a couple of days.

Saw a kingsnake.

Saw a seagull fly into the path of a "set" or tandem tractor-trailer. It hit on the big fiaring over the cab and it looked like it exploded.

I saw a set of forklift forks laying on the freeway one night- glad I saw then in time.

Saw a 10 year old girl pissing with her ass towards traffic.

From the higher cab of a truck you can see down into cars- so I've seen girls driving with thier left leg up on the dash, gently rubbing their pussy as they drive down the freeway.

Saw a mountain lion once.

Saw a missile launch from Vandenberg AFB which is about 250 miles away- I wasn't sure what I was seeing as I drive southbound by the bay bridge- it was this white contrail heading nearly straight up.

When we pried his helmet out of the wall a pink sludge leaked out of it and both of his eyeballs had left their sockets and we're floating in a pink goo.
A rookie asked if we still do CPR cause he'd never done it and really wanted to. Had an audible kek
>a guy on a motorcycle at a car meet was doing a wheelie and the bike flipped backwards onto his pelvis/dick area and crushed it
You'd be surprised how much balls swell in heavy trauma. Looked like a small melon

That particular setup isn't common at all. Seeing one is notable. Getting overtaken by one in the fucking snow is just mental. Even in a Crafter you are dwarfed by the sheer size of them

The one in your pic is more common.
Seeing more and more double trailers behind a straight truck though. I don't mind seeing miniature road trains.

>>17005053
I'd love to drive a long truck around Europe for the truck's sake, but the road network, competition and pay are absolutely horrid. The whiny American truckers don't know how good they have it pulling from empty roads into giant truck stops with their eight foot sleepers every night and being locked off from poorer countries challenging their high wages.
