Mrs. Wave bought a Subaru station wagon (against my wishes I might add) based on Consumer Reports. She felt it was safer. One day she's driving along at 30 mph on Thompson Dam Road when a two kids who stole a 125 Honda dirt bike shot out from a ditch and she hit the bike broadside. End result - $6,280 worth of damage to the Subaru - totaled. The owner of the dirt bike showed up after a call from the SP, picked the bike up off the ground, started it and drove away. So much for Consumer Reports. Hmmm. I'm not sure it means anything. Figure 150 pounds each for the kids, 200 pounds for the dirtbike. Maybe 500 pounds overall. Larger than most of the deer that total cars or causes thousands in damage. The kids would be dead or severely injured and I doubt that a 200 pound dirtbike would survive being hit broadside by an SUV traveling 30 mph. I just don't believe the story.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Wow, are you calling bull**** on Tom? Yes. |
