Truck Tire Incident. . .

This happened at the company I work at in the summer of 07 before I bought the 8 and joined the forums... I was looking through old photos on the server and I thought I would share these...

First pic... this is a dual semi truck tire with the wheel.

pic 2: this is the truck tire sitting in the middle of our parking lot... after ruthlessly attacked our front office.

Pic 3 is the inside of the office after the attack.

Pic 4... you can't really see it, but the tire hit the top corner of the cab, jarring it from the frame... it was over $1500 in damage.

oh yeah... and on the way to attacking the building, the tire just happened to bounce off of a Ford Taurus... rendering it completely totaled.

This wheel just fell off of a passing semi... he didn't even notice the wheel was missing until he arrived at his destination up the road. No other cars were damaged.

Just a fun story to share with all of you.

Yeah... maybe more? I mean, it hit the car and still did all that damage to the building. It was "only" going around 35-40 mph.

Ha ha. Squished Taurus - it's what's for dinner.

Remind me not to park in 'Hill's' spot.
