    If instead they were driving one of those smart cars it would look like a soda can coming out of a can crusher.

    Those things look like something you'd buy a kid at ToysRus.

    Guess when he got out to chuck his piss bottle he didn’t bother looking around! And an attentive driver would have smelled it also.

    i think the people in that car would have died, had that set of wheels landed on the hood first. as it is, it seems to have hit just above the windshield line.

    maybe giving them "enough time" to duck.

    i figure at least by now, 353,269, 998,149,936 lawyers have chased them for thier lawsuit...

    Interesting setup you have on your tandems. Mine take a 4 inch socket and if the seal is leaking, you have to pull the hub and install a new one. I certainly wouldnt haul 23 tons if my hub nut was a 1/2 inch.

    Im talking about the round cover plate that has about 8 1/2 bolts on the tractor drives. Ive had it leak there and after tighten them up then no more leak.

    That's an axle gasket. The nuts are far larger than 1/2".
    1/2" nut would be a 5/16 stud. About as big around as a pencil.
