Well, after a great night at Blue Knob this guy couldnt wait to get home!
We stopped but he/she was gone! Dunno if anyone was hurt.

That's not a mountain I would want to get into that predicament on, especially this time of year! That's why I'm nervous about delivering Pennsylvania Musician to Blue Knob during the winter.

Ah, I remember many a nights coming home from either shows or work and it being so foggy that I had to make my friend John (Matt from Lost Ledny's Brother) walk up the road in front of me so I could see it.

He's a big dude and was usually pissed. HA! Be careful up there.

That looks familiar. Is that just above the road to the state park/swimming pool? If so, I kinda did the same thing in the same place with a Suzuki Sidekick, but I saw those trees and somehow managed to flip it on the uphill side of the road. I just opened up the passenger side door and crawled up and out. About 15 minutes later, a friend of my from BK was coming down the hill in his 4WD. He just happened to have some chains, so we rigged er up and pulled it back on its wheels. It rode like Mr. Magoo's buggy all the way to .... the Argonne Cafe....(I had been skiing that day and it was only about 8:00)

I went back up the next day, looking for parts and the snow tracks showed that it flew 10 feet thru the air before sliding in for a landing on its side. Mostly, it just had ice scratches and a few tiny dents. The only glass that broke was a side view mirror. A good wheel alignment and it ran just as good as ever.

Those Sidekicks are a great value for the money, LW. My wife rolled her '95 up on Cresson Mt., went into a side-on double barrel-roll, and landed on the driver's side... same deal, she climbed out the passenger's door. Didn't even break the glass, just stoved the roof in a bit. They totaled the car because she broke the rear-end loose when she fish-tailed into the packed snowbank, then neglected to shut the engine down before she climbed out, so it ran with the oil pouring out of the filler cap. Our first Suzuki was an '88 Samurai... we put over 200K on that car, then traded it... they used it at Cody-Emes to pull empty trailers around the lot for awhile, and now someone's driving it again! I saw it parked at City Limits just last week. The resale value kinda sucks on them, but damn, what a solid car for little money.
Funny how we seem to buy the exact same model cars, too.--->JMS

Berger and Green own Edgar Synder. They have crashing cars and falling dollar bills in their commercials.

I think Marcus and Mack have the better commercials, with the scary dramatic noise at the mention of their name, and the mean-old-pricky-sounding-actor-guy that comes on and talks afterwards.

I personally like the Berger & Green commercials with the fiery car crashes and explosions while the stern guy is talking...

"If you survive a crash this bad, your charred carcass can sue for damages!"

That's funny. I have an aunt who sues people for a living (for the lack of a better phrase).

Hmm, that sounds like a good idea. I just go break my arm while trespassing on someone's property. Is money won in a settlement taxable?

Nope. Tax exempt!--->JMS

Hey Bobby, what would you have done if there were a pair of sneakers sticking out the window? Don't lie, tell us!

Sweet! I'm going to make sure I have a little "accident" the next time I'm up at Rob's place.

My boss's wife gave me a cool little doo-dad for Christmass one year that is good for car accidents. It sort of looks like a hot-glue gun. You can break a window by tapping one part of it against the glass, and it also has a razor to cut a seat-belt. I keep it underneath my dash.

edit: So this is where that post went. I meant to stick this in thread where Becky was talking about her sister being trapped in a car by a seatbelt.
