The Maximum Speed Secret I Forgot: Avoid Launching Into Bridges
From the Dayton Daily News video:
A 19-year-old Mason man driving south on Interstate 675 on Monday morning near the Indian Ripple Road exit crashed his car into an overpass, breaking the car into pieces and shutting down traffic for five hours.
BLAM! Just watch the video. Not only does this guy have the stones to pass a cop in the grass, he then immediately files a flight plan to take his Firebird all the way to Mars.
The driver has been identified as Brennan S. Eden. He was undergoing surgery as of 4 p.m. Monday.
Eden was seriously injured and flown to Miami Valley Hospital via a CareFlight helicopter, according to Fellure.
Yeah, I suspect that too! He was ejected from the car! In other words, that old wives’ tale about it being safer to be “thrown from the car” is TRUE! I cannot imagine he would have been long for this world had he stayed in the Firebird. This guy just about ties Kenny Brack in the horrific-accident stakes.
My take: he had to have been stoned to the gills. That wasn’t an unmarked cop car he blew by. I know from personal experience that you never start the police pursuit from behind the cruiser. What do you think?

- Ronin It's one thing to stay tried and true to loyal past customers; you'll ensure a stream of revenue from your installed base- maybe every several years or so.It's another to attract net-new customers, who are dazzled by so many other attractive offerings that have more cargo capacity than that high-floored 4-Runner bed, and are not so scrunched in scrunchy front seats.Like with the FJ Cruiser: don't bother to update it, thereby saving money while explaining customers like it that way, all the way into oblivion. Not recognizing some customers like to actually have right rear visibility in their SUVs.

- 3-On-The-Tree Same as the Land Cruiser, emissions. I have a 1985 FJ60 Land Cruiser and it’s a beast off-roading.
