I'm at a loss for what names to give this individual. S/he/they deserve some doozies.

…when one of those trucks goes up in flame?

I hope the perp has been apprehended quickly and charged with attempted mass murder.

Airbags bowing up shuts off the engine -hasn't happened yet. Hasn't popped the radiator either. Not enough running start, not enough throttle!

The back bumpers are huge,double stacked steel channels, , for just that reason.

Reminds me of that clown who walked up to me while I was DELIVERING gas, tried to flick his cigarette butt into the tank opening while asking me what the flash point of gasoline was. He almost got skewered with my 10ft long dipstick. I might have hurt him bad.


I wonder if there's something wrong with the car like a sticky throttle..?

If those tankers (there was more than one) blow, a whole lot of folks would be incinerated. I-95 just got shut down because a tanker fire.
