The Conversation Pit
This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it!

Bring back Windows™ XP and 7.
Windows™ Vista and Windows™ 8 is a pain in my a$$!
Windows™ 10 is only slightly less annoying!
Windows™ 11 is garbage!

Actually, it didn't look like anything came apart (by some miracle) to actually cause the pickup to wreck. It had a little bit of damage to the LH side and looks like it just barely started to go all the way over but did not. I suspect with the weather we have had the last few weeks that he hit some ice and just set it over on its side in a ditch.

I agree, Bill. It's no different than driving impaired on drugs or alcohol and there is no excuse to do something like this crap. However, knowing what plates are on the vehicle (in MT, when someone doesn't get one of the 400 optional and stupid "sponsor" plates, they get the standard number-by-county plate), it's apparent why the vehicle was "built" the way it was. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawson...a#Demographics

Just because someone has a welder doesn't mean they know how/when to use it.

I was more to the point that with all those modification, the lift blocks, and everything else, that truck was an accident waiting to happen. I can't imagine that it was very stable on the road even under the best of conditions. Add snow, ice, gravel in a curve... Anything that would be out of the ordinary, and it's a recipe for disaster.

And yes... Some people REALLY need to step away from the welder. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
