Dante Brown's Saab broke down on Interstate 610 in Houston. Instead of calling a tow truck, he called his girlfriend to come and tow the car. She brought her SUV, but had no towing equipment outside of a single chain. They attached the chain to the rear axle of the Saab and set off down the highway. The axle soon broke, and as Brown overcompensated in his steering, the car fishtailed wildly across several lanes! Brown was obviously not in communication with his girlfriend in the SUV, and she appeared to be oblivious to the mayhem going on behind her.
Police eventually caught up with the pair. No tickets were issued for the traffic incident, but Brown was arrested on an outstanding warrant. Next time, call a tow truck. (via Born in Space)

Car Towing: You're Doing It Wrong

Unbelievable how stupid people can be. But this is one of the reasons why I don't watch TV "news." Okay, jaw dropping video clip, like you see pop up on quality sites like Miss Cellania. Fine. But on TV "news," not only is the clip cut up and repeated in pieces a bunch of times, we get to look at and listen to various people spend too much time earnestly saying, "Yup, that was crazy, it was something." Which, you know, I can do myself. Thus an at most 20 second clip is dragged out to 2:17 while adding nothing but annoyance.
Right with you, DWVR. I gave up watching 'man made' news and most TV 11 years ago. Do I feel and think betterer ? You betcha.
But I saw this clip on some site, and for me it had me weeping in the aisles, crying like a plaster statue of some religious icon's mother, howling at both the moons in a parody of Michael J. Fox wearing whiskers ... or was it Michael J Ackson ? Constantly getting them mixed up, so bad.
Anyhow, the miasma of my grief was brought upon by the sight of a Saab being mistreated, being treated like a innocent dog by a bully with a super small penis and pea like brain ... and I don't mean just green.
I have a few oldish Saabs, they are works of great engineering, comfortable like a good wife, and hold their beauty like a favourite armchair ... I may have mixed up my tomatoes there ... my 2002 9.5 Aero (if you know, you know) is faster than my Ferrari powered Alfa Romeo, and passes other traffic on two lane blacktop like the Flash with the runs trying to find a vacant toilet. Love it dearly, and the other Saabs that live at my place, so yeah, this video cuts like a knife.
Did you know, blacktop is actually tar McAdam, McAdam being a Scottish bloke, probably a cousin of that Goodyear fellow (watt ?) who invented a different way of combing tar with wee little stones, ending up with an agregate of the word ashfelt .. asfhelt ... arsefelt ... hang on, I'll look it up ...asphalt.
Every day, some new learning.
