No More Oldsmobiles

If a car catches fire next to you, are you going to stop?

I would have gotten away from the blaze, too, and if the road was deserted, I would have used the cell phone to call for help. But there were police right there, so what else is there to do?

I was driving on the interstate once when everyone slowed down to gape at a car that was on the shoulder with flames coming out of the hood. All the little kids in back seats were pressing their noses against the glass to look. And I’m thinking, “You’re slowing down to get a good look, and it could blow up right in your kids’ faces.” Please, if a car is on fire, do not slow down to gape and block me in next to a burning car.

If you're really that interested, pull over to the shoulder and get out of your vehicle and stroll over for a real close look. Bring a picnic lunch. Make a day of it.

Now I'm putting words in your mouth...You yourself made a pretty broad statement their bud...and IMO a pretty ignorant one, like I said before we don't know for sure what happened...have some decency...

I knew a guy who lost his leg in a NJ tollbooth crash on his Kawasaki GPz back in the early 80's. He was racing a car when it happened. I feel for him, but it was his fault.... There is a time and place to race, and it isn't on the parkway.

Yep, I would think it was that ugly Ford. Life can be so short.

Good call, I think you are right.

I agree with you. People do this all the time. Guy was a fool for trying to defend what he did. Very ignorant. You don't know much of anything behind the story, nor do you have the facts correct, yet you make a statement like that. Unfortunately people do that all the time. It's the way it is. Making statements like that based off a youtube video is just plain stupid. Glad someone said something. Props to ya man.

I stand by my comments. So, get over it.
