I remember pulling off similar stunts like this when I was a kid… A kid. Now that I’m all grown up, this would be an assholish thing to do. Funny, but assholish thing to do. Yes, I said that twice.

Watch this video, it gets hilarious towards the end.
1. Of course it was a 76 year old driver. Why wouldn’t it be?
2. If it were a bomb that exploded, don’t you think there would be mass casualties in the area?
3. Something tells me Philip Mays shouldn’t be driving either.
4. I’m not an architect, but, I can tell you that the ceilings are not 20 feet high.
5. Why were just old people interviewed? They exaggerate way too much.

Here’s a small common sense tip: Don’t get out of your vehicle, AT ALL, at a car wash. That is all.
—————————————————————-
DENNIS, Mass. — A 74-year-old woman is recovering at a local hospital after she was dragged through a car wash in Dennis.
Carol Burton-Gorman of Yarmouth says she got out of her Toyota Matrix to press the start button for the car wash at a Shell gas station on Route 134. She reportedly noticed the car’s tire was on top instead of in the track.
She apparently hung onto the car and was dragged 40 feet until the car finally stopped upon hitting a rock.

Traffic Scoop debuted a while back a new post cycle that you will see here and there called “erratic.”
erratic – adj; having no certain or definite course; wandering; not fixed
If we get bombarded with a shit load of stories (traffic related of course) going on throughout the day in one city or various cities, then we will do short and sweet segments wrapped up all in one post.
The following shit happened today in various places:
• Pembroke, MA bus driver sold drugs on the job. – It’s a f****** minivan, not a bus.
• Young bike rider hurt in collision with car in Swansea, MA. – At 15 years old, he should know better to look both ways before crossing.
• 70 year old lady plows through doctors office. Blames Toyota. Charged with “failure to use care.” – What the f*** kinda charge is that? We’ll chalk up another elderly accident for this one.
• California Highway Patrol officers helped a 2008 Toyota Prius driver with a stuck accelerator come to a safe stop. – Ya know what? This guy is an idiot. Throw it in Neutral and jam on the break. The dumb bastard didn’t have common sense to throw it in Neutral? Come on. That and it’s a f****** Prius. Ugly shit box.

Traffic Scoop Boston supporter sends in their story:
“I was heading down 128 South and noticed the asshole in the BMW, who not only was talking on his cellphone, but smoking a cigarette at the same time. I thought, typical BMW driver. Then, just when I thought it couldn’t get better, he took a sip from his coffee at the same time. I’m thinking to myself, boy do I want to just hit your car so hard. Arrogant f***.”
