    You know, I was (as is likely clear from earlier posts) thinking about this at some length.
    I realized that this is the kind of day that the accident investigation team dreams about.

    Yeah, that'd be incredibly jarring just to hit as a ramp. It feels rough enough pulling into a drive apron that's not well transitioned from the street.

    A friend of mine hit an embankment like that at a high rate of drunken speed. He launched and landed 70yards from take off, landed at the front door of a house......He never made it AND luckily didn't kill any of the house occupants. Accident reconstionist estimated the speed in excess of 100 mph.

    Yoiks. A dude we were in the AF with did something similar in his new Camaro at the time. Flying around the road coming back to the base back gate after being out one weekend night, and lost control around a tight turn. It was one of those situations where the roadway was elevated, and the house lower and set back onto the property. He was going so fast when he left the road that he just sort of transitioned to the roof of the house when he landed.

    I don't recall whether anyone was in the home, but I don't think anyone was killed. He crossed over into the oncoming lane briefly as this happened.

    Hmmm ... it looks like some of the glass roof is missing from when he fell through it before. May be why he has the board propping the ladder up this time. If at first you don't succeed ...

    Perfect for earthquake company -- if those tyres are properly tuned. :)

    Is it coupled or decoupled? I say decoupled, assuming tires are sand-filled. :)

    P.S. Stairs need a handrail for FHA.

    Yeow that's wrong on all levels. No doubt some of those people have broken limbs, backs necks etc. and the bystanders are grabbing them and pulling them. That's about the worst thing to do after a serious accident

    Using the rooftop ac as an anchor point? What a mess that's going to make when that gets ripped out.

    If this is a real photo I see disaster coming. With a truck that size even the best sway bar isn't going to work... I can't count how many trucks are undersized hauling a camper I see going down the road. Once they start swaying it's going on it's side for sure.. Advice: never listen to the RV dealer when he says your truck will haul it. Do some research

    That can't be real. I really hope that guy got D6'd off that forum.

    "spoke delete". what ridiculous phrasing. like "life hacks". Call it what it is.

    "Hey guys, is there a way I can hack, cut, and grind some spokes outta my wheels and still have it look good? I guess maybe still be safe to drive, too? I do have a hammer and floor chisel. If the stubs are still rough and sharp, that's cool, I can cover with [sic] duck tape."

    People like this are why I cringe at buying used stuff sometimes.

    I did this once, myself, when I modified my own skateboard in 7th grade with a dull jigsaw. I got laughed right outta the scene. We had to change our names and move to a new state.

    Agreed; And just think this person more than likely has voting and driving privileges and is also able to reproduce. That's the scary part.
