Have you guys seen this video from the toll booth at DFW Airport yet?

Is anyone else sad that it wasn't the General Lee or KITT?

Damn. Toll booth collector is a dangerous job.

You want some real holy shit action?



This happened on the Tollway the other day. Car cuts off an 18-wheeler and sends it careening into the opposite flow of traffic! Miraculously, no one was seriously injured.

I saw an interview with the guy that was in the truck that was in the opposite lane as the 18-wheeler. He still seemed a tad adrenalized.

Porsche should hire the guy in the Cayenne as a spokesman. You think your Ford Explorer or Range Rover can make a three-lane avoidance maneuver at 70 mph?

I saw that on the news too. But I had to watch the vid 5 times before I saw the car that caused it. I kept looking at the car on the right to cut him off, and couldn't figure out where the car that shows up at :07 was coming from. It was like he was *trying* to park under that semi. Was he drunk or just suicidal?

It's amazing that Porche didn't get smooshed.

I think that car missed the curve in the road and overcompensated, ramming into the truck. ???
