This is pretty harsh, note the pedestrian crossing the street.

Flying Aston Martin goes whee!

Well sheeeee-YIT, that'll ruin your day.

As a pedestrian, I see this and cringe. It's a war zone out there.

I had something similar (but a near miss) happen to me many years ago.

I was walking down the sidewalk in the Loop area of downtown Chicago. Suddenly there was the sound of a revving engine from a parking garage across the street. A sedan came charging down the ramp, directly across the street, pushed between two parked cars, hit the side of a building, tore down the sidewalk (towards and then past me! I ended up between this car's path and the street) into the next intersection, t-boned a passing car, and fetched up aganst a stanchion for the El. They took the occupants of the t-bone victim off on back boards. Woman driving the car (apparently unhurt) claimed her accelerator stuck.

They don't have vehicle safety inspection in Illinois.

Something similar: I witnessed a vehicle attempting to park suddenly jump the curb, smash into the nearby brick building at an angle, then push itself against the wall as the tire squealed away. This caused it to align with the sidewalk that ran alongside the business and scrape along the wall despite the wreck and only stopped once it wedged itself between the building and a brick pillar, forcing the engine to stall. The woman driving (obviously with child, no less) claimed the car "did it on its own as she hit the brake". When I approached, she was actually trying to restart the car to move it and she wouldn't stop until I removed the keys from the ignition and took them away from her. (Shock, perhaps? Two popped tires and a brick column threatening collapse didn't hold her back.)

The police arrived, one of them noting that this was a common, almost daily occurance as people mistake pressing the gas for the brake pedal. I was in awe. I don't feel too comfortable on the roads, anymore.

YAWN! seen it all before.

Yes, but the view is totally different through the windshield. You miss a lot of the subtleties that way.

yes, but how many of them would it take to make a decent turtle soup? HA!


Oh. Right. Nevermind.
