A guy driving down my road today ( A route that is fairly busy ) fell asleep and went off the road heading for my Vette . I feel bad for my neighbor but I'm happy there driveway is right before mine ( U can see there driveway on the other side of my car in my Avi ) . There Mustang and Ford truck cushioned the blow . It missed the Vette and the wife's Trailblazer by about a Foot . . It totaled the neighbors truck and smashed up the stang Pretty good but that will be fixable . Nobody was hurt 2 bad the driver got out with only a broken thumb and the neighbor was a bit shaken up ( He was working in the front yard when the car came through ) .


I knew those Mustangs we're good for something

Damn that's a helluva way to wake up.

When that happened to me, I woke up just in time to enjoy spinning donuts at 70mph. That was quite exhillirating!

Glad everyone is OK and the Vette escaped harm.

In my opinion driving sleepy is as bad as driving drunk. It ususally ends with the same results.

Stay safe this holiday weekend.
