That pinwheel of blood has stayed with me for 15 years, not least because I couldn't figure out how this kid could do an endo with anti-lock brakes. <BR/><BR/>As it turned out, it bothered me enough (I'm the inquisitive type) to do some research into Lexus and the full-time 4-wheel-drive and discovered that in fact Lexus' ABS system would not only apply brakes but also issue power from the engine to the wheels. All-wheel-drive would, quote, "divert power to wheels under 'unusual' circumstances". Quote from Lexus' promo material.<BR/><BR/>This kid overcompensated, cut it hard, and brought one rear wheel off the pavement at 70 mph. The braking system took over and flipped the vehicle. <BR/><BR/>No shit. <BR/><BR/>Barbecued flesh smells like nothing else.LNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071223179132939132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-91063241989208105692009-03-31T09:52:00.000-05:002009-03-31T09:52:00.000-05:00I lost a childhood friend 14 years ago, April 4, t...I lost a childhood friend 14 years ago, April 4, to drunk driving .. her own drunk driving. <BR/><BR/>It was our last hurrah, so to speak. Our last night partying because we both decided we'd gotten out of hand and needed to straighten up and fly right. <BR/><BR/>I was supposed to be riding with her that night. <BR/><BR/>As much as I miss her, I'm thankful every day that she got away from me and left me at the bar.Divine Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01753002297405526438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-80613291351397802342009-03-30T13:05:00.000-05:002009-03-30T13:05:00.000-05:00Wow what a story...

It has been a sobering week for me, I know. Death comes for all of us. And for most of us, we do not know when that time will be. Life is short. And I do my darndest to live it to its fullest.<BR/><BR/>On a side note about the (obviously) drunk driver. He got what he had coming to him. I HATE drunk drivers.
