    I drive on these roads with all the jackoff drivers. Riding a roller coaster seems much safer lol

    But you actually have some control driving on a coaster you are in the hands of those whom have built it.

    I wonder when was the last time that ride was inspected for possible corrosion or other defects.
    It’s like watching a “Final Destination” movie.

    I was with my kids at Six Flags Valencia, CA 10 days ago. I like amusements parks. I was on Goliath roller coaster and dropped at Drop of Doom. Any time I go there i feel like i get younger. My body likes adrenalin.

    I wouldn’t think this would be an issue to have in the Truck. Diesel for the truck adrenaline for the driver.

    I'm finished with amusement parks. Went to Universal studios in Orlando back in June... one day ticket was $133 per person. Never again.

    like someone else mentioned, that was in another country. no telling what (if any) inspection standards they have there. and too, like some carneys in this country, i'd never trust any of thier rides either.

    if i want to take a chance on a carney ride, i'll flatten all my tires and drive on the highway in the rain....
