    I'm impressed, I didn't think a Maserati stayed running long enough to accomplish such a feat.

    And it had door graphics...one of those "classy" Maserati owners....probably had vanity plates with some d'bag statement.

    Meant to be religious (ressurectionist)....... then he ran into a crane.

    I'm a sucker for irony. And sardonic humor.

    Of course he couldnt see the white crane that was as big as a house in the middle of the road. He was too busy looking for admirers of his Maseratti and trying to look cool as he plowed into the back end of a immobile object. Yup he is cool alright, we are all laughing at the fool he is.

    Now what you gotta do, I'll tell you what you gotta do
    You got to pretend your face is a Maserati
    It's a Maserati
    It's a Maserati
    It's a gettin' hotty
    It's a Maserati, Maserati, Maserati
    It's a fast one too man, that thing's turbocharged
    You feel like a little fuel injection honey?
    I'll tell ya about it, I'll tell you about it
    I'll check out the hood scoop
    I gotta get that hood scoop off, shine and shine and buff
    I gotta buff it up, buff it up, buff it up, buff it up, buff it up,
    Yeah, shiny now baby, heh heh heh
    You've been drivin' all night long
    It's time to put the old Maserati away
    So you look for a garage, you think you see a garage
    Wait a minute, Hey!, there's one up ahead
    And the #### thing's open
    Hello! Get in there!

    If the Maserati struck that crane with a speed differential of 165MPH, it would have disintegrated and they would still be looking for body parts of the driver.

    Sorry for his loss.
    Maserati, my friends. Maserati. (See Avitar to left.)
    Two foot of carbs. No electronic anything.
    It sings, and my eyes get watery.
    6 grand on the tach. all day long - and loves it.
    Now that's a Maserati! Well, actually several.

    Wow, you gotta Google the word - to see all of the History you don't know.
    I don't know that I like the new ones much, either, but up to the 1980's they were hand-built.

    I Passed by a Trooper on Rt. 80 W. in a hiding spot, might have been moving a little,
    (Surely within the speed limit,) next exit was Blakeslee, about 6 miles uphill,
    He pulled out with his Police Interceptor, I never saw him again.
    Pulled in the hotel canopy right in front of the Barracks and blocked to the side by a bus.
    I DO advocate safe driving habits, and looking far enough ahead as to not hit any cranes.
    Apparently this guy forgot that chapter in the book
    I hardly ever drive it, cause it hurts to be in a herd of muppets. The lady wants to sing.
