    I just paid off my truck so mods will come but I have to buy a house first. Turning wrenches on the street is getting annoying.

    Urban, I did that sh*t when I was younger. Grew up in NWI and all my friends and I did was ride our bikes everywhere. Go find trails, long hills, cause a general ruckus. We got hurt, luckily never too bad but it is what we did. looking back it was sometimes dangerous but we came out OK in the end.

    luckily I hadn't been drinking at all and I had all my docs and what not up to date. Cops were cool and did what they had to do but really let me take my time getting my mental state in order before I was able to drive off. Did a field sobriety test, asked me questions about the truck, ultimately let me go.

    Yea, I had a bad long boarding fall May last year that I am still dealing with. Didn't get hit by a car though.

    Usually people making such claims aren't "religious" they're just crazy. They've either had a mental breakdown or there is something permanently wrong with them. Or he was cracked out or something.

    Glad you made out okay. Glad he survived. Hopefully he gets whatever help he needs.

    ABS brakes can still leave rubber on the road. It's just not solid lines. You get little 'chips' every few feet as the ABS system grabs and releases the brake system. With proper lighting and decent road conditions an accident investigator can determine the distance a vehicle traveled from the time the brakes were applied. This can help estimate vehicle speed as well.
