What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (89 Viewers)

[Rouleur]

Glad everyone is ok! Not sure if I would appreciate pictures of my frightened child on the internet. And it hurts getting rear ended.

I figured I’d get some heat for this.

I appreciate that someone sees it from another angle.

Definitely not trying to be a Karen or a Kraken

But I do have a little one that has a cranial facial thing.

So I’m probably a little bit sensitive to this so please forgive me!

If someone ran into the back of me and took a pic of my child I would be out of the car!

Or in my case Cruiser.

Kid should be sitting down, facing forward and still buckled in, unless they are injured and needs to be removed from the vehicle.

Otherwise, another yahoo driving may be staring at the wreck and rear end them with a second collision and if not buckled in could be seriously injured on the second round.

Hey bud. I know the rules of the road and the best thing is to get off the ****ing highway.
People don't even know the left lane is for passing much less what to do if they get in a accident.
Too busy looking at phones!

Hey bud I know the rules of the road and the best thing is to get off the f***ing highway.

Bottom line this was done in poor taste and if I get kicked off of here for this well be it!

 

[Feldrian]

Oh boy.

 

[Rouleur]

Oh boy.

Yep! Im sure you think its funny! Show me your ass not your 80!

Who's the yahoo?

No, it was done in the interest of a collision, documenting the facts. The kid happened to be looking back and is apparently visible.

I, too, have a kid with a disability, so I'm much more aware than you may think.

Don't get too wound up about this guy's documentation. It's not your kid or mine.
I know I'd be out taking pics from all angles as well, even if it was my fault.

Got out of the hospital, then did this. Thankfully everyone was ok. 0 damage to mine. View attachment 3251045View attachment 3251046

Is that the rear glass of the other car on your hood? I thought your hood was smashed in.

 

[Rouleur]

Ok, bud. take all the pics you want, but, be ready for daddy bear! And you can say NO! but not classy ATMO!
And as I said at the beginning, I apologize. This is a sensitive subject to me, and we can agree to disagree.

No intention to get a picture of the kid, and he should have stayed buckled. He was out running around on a bridge with 3 lanes of traffic. I told his mom he needs to be in the car. Yea, I hit them at about 7mph in stop/go/fast/slow traffic. The glass just snapped out and landed on my hood. We got far over to the right side, son grabs fire extinguisher and medic kit, gets it to me, and stays buckled. Just a crazy week for me. To top it off, my son and I were on the way to watch a movie, 1/2 way through and they sound an alarm and say to evacuate the theater immediately. Everybody ran for the entrance, not us, we take the exit and did so in a well thought out safe approach. We were the only ones who took the exit in the front of the theater. Probably just somebody pulling a prank, but that's just too much excitement for a week.

Also "overlanding" isn't cool anymore, it's called A C T I V E V A C A T I O N now

Thanks for understanding fellas I was out of line.
Like I said, I was looking at this from a different perspective and it’s really none of my business.

Got the short fixed when putting the cruiser in reverse.

Finally got the truck fully registered to include local safety inspection...

Had FormulaOne nano-ceramic tinting installed, 70% windshield, 35% front, 15% rear including sunroof. Picture taken at Kuli'ou'ou beach park, Kaihuokapua'a in the background.

Thanks for breaking the awkward silence scheme,..very nice 80!
I got my temps down from 205 to 185 the POs thermostat wasn't opening up all the way in boiling water. Installed a OEM thermo, new rear heater hoses (still had originals) and a new alternator pulley.

Drinking and driving = illegal
Drinking and typing = not so much

Does a different perspective = forum posting while drinking

Haha, at least for me it does.

Seriously though don't sweat it bro. We are all entitled to opinions and opinions are what make this forum so entertaining.

Nope not drinking. And I explained the reason and apologized.
