not a truck crash, but still worth mentioning

    Yes
    I also read an article that said there was a movie produced or director who was in another car that he almost hit before he crashed?
    I myself have had some hot headed occasions in my younger years in my 1970 442 olds where I laid down a couple of hundred feet of rubber fishtailing but never ran anybody off the road and then crashed violently?
    It’s my my belief that there is probably more to the story especially with his prior history.
    On another note did you see that Bruce Springsteen got his DUI dropped and got only a 540.00 fine for drinking in a closed area?
    From what I read the cop witnessed him do a shot of tequila and then got on his motorcycle and fired it up.
    When the cop investigated he found an empty tequila bottle and then Springsteen failed a field sobriety test.
    When asked to blow he refused.
    I don’t know what the rules are in New Jersey but in my state there is implied consent law which means if you refuse to blow it’s an automatic suspension of your drivers license?
    When I drive down i95 I see the billboards for DUI that always state “you just blew $10,000.00”
    I guess the $10,000.00 is for regular people not the famous ones?

    i just checked on Tiger's age....he is 45 years old. he has kid(s). at what point and time, does one "grow up" and become an adult?

    i thought that Springsteen, actually blew something like a .002..????

    As far as tiger goes we see these type issues with a lot of young rising stars because growing up with their fame they don’t have to follow many of the rules that us common people are held to.
    With that being said the issues just cascade bigger as they get older.

    on the Springsteen thing I think the lawyer who made that statement (and is not involved in the case in anyway) is trying to push fake news.
    All the reports I have seen stated he failed the physical field sobriety test and then refused a breathalyzer test?

    yeah, personally, i am not following the Springsteen news. he's never been a singer i ever listened to.

    as for Tiger, yeah again....no restraints, no discipline, no father to club him in the head, to straighten him out.

    i grew up in a whole different time. when getting smacked when you did something wrong, was the thing to do, to make you walk that straight and narrow line...or ELSE.

    You said it !
    I grew up exactly the same way.
    I don’t think any of us turned out bad for the discipline we learned either?
    Imagine what the US military has to deal with today when 18 year old kids show up with no discipline for boot camp?
    They probably can’t even yell at them because it might hurt their feelings.

    With an estimated net worth of ~$900 million, future income stream is likely not a concern.

    If he never golfs again, he'll continue to make more in endorsements for the rest of his life than probably anybody on this forum will ever earn working.

    i do believe, that was a very young Rob Reiner (meathead in, All in the family) in that pic with Sgt. Carter.

    yup, just looked it up

    1967–1969 Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. Various characters 3 episodes
