Mike, that second story has to be the coolest car-wreck story I've heard in years. The first one. . .well, you get off 'cause you were 15.Imagine trying that now, though--these days it seems like even if the father didn't want to press charges, some lawyer would be all over him to sue.

Hmmm, let's see now....
Yep! I guess you could say that I've experienced plenty of wrecks.
- many motorcycle wrecks (motocross)
- a few tractor wrecks
- a few motor vehicle wrecks
- a couple of road bicycle wrecks
- plenty of mountain bike wrecks
- a few downhill skiing wrecks (into trees and fences!)
- a boat wreck (yes, in the water!)
- a skateboard wreck
- in-line skating wrecks
- a remote controlled plane wreck
- loads of kite wrecks
- lots of model train wrecks (alot safer that way!)
- infinite number of Hot Wheels car wreck
- several nights of heavy drinking (where I became a wreck!)
OK, confession time: twice, both my fault-
1969 in my Dad's pickup, an old man panic stops in front of me at green light just as I look down to tweak the radio. The trucks hood pops up and the doors jam closed, glass everywhere. I climb out the window and the old guy is wandering the middle of the intersection in a daze, but unhurt.
Last year doing 85 on I5 north across Camp Pendleton I failed to notice traffic stopped at the checkpoint. I got three vehicles in front of me. Nobody hurt but Molly the Maxima was lost - with no collision insurance. I road my bike from the train for a year.
Wiser and more carefull, but the risk is always there.....
It seems the air head woman on cellphone thing is worldwide.
If you see a rear-ending in South Africa, chances are high that it's a woman, who was either reading a map, talking on her cellphone or putting on make up. Rocket scientists behind wheels...
