    let's be careful out there.

    Hadda take a detour to work today. Coming down a long straight hill, what should appear in front of me but a set of 100+' long skidmarks, at the end of which was a fully crumpled AE86 sideways across my lane. Parked in the oncoming lane was the TOW TRUCK the toyletta hit. So lemme get this straight. This slopehead comes down a straight hill at 90 and see a TOW TRUCK comin up the hill, locks up his brakes, panics, keeps them locked up, skids into the oncoming lane, and hits that TOW truck hard enough to F@CKING KNOCK the TOW TRUCKS' WHEEL off. How the HELL do you manage THAT. Did the fastnfurious fanboi think that perhaps removing some brake pressure might unlock the wheels and allow him to sail on past unharmed? No he did not, apparently. Did he get TOTALLY SURPRISED that there was oncoming traffic? Did he not see the godam TOW TRUCK? How do you NOT SEE that? I just don't get it. WTF crash was full of WTF....

      This is why I don't do 90 mph anywhere there is a blind section, especially on a narrow road that larger trucks might frequent. This is also the reason I don't street race anymore. Too much potential for bad **** happening. Sadly, though, some people just need to be taught a harsh lesson.

                            Did not know that either. Urbandictionary confirmed but still doesn't make sense to me.

                            Makes more sense, if you had no prefrontal cortex your head would then actually be "sloped" Plus it makes sense in the as a derogatory word for "you're an idiot" because the prefrontal cortex is basically what makes humans smarter than possums.
