    Gives new meaning to the FHC term hitting metal. Could've been a lot worse.

    IMG_4340.png I wonder what I’ll find under the tape?
    The bright side is the battery is dead or something so they didn’t smoke the tires and brakes…

    Years ago now, a buddy of my was riding a sled down the road when it was dark. A vehicle was coming at him head on. Said vehicle decided to make a left hand turn in front of my buddy on the sled. He hit the passenger fender and went over the hood. Unfortunately he was basically doa. Everyone stay safe out there. RIP double A ron.

    They were on the sled the car was parked in the driveway. Mom driving with daughter infront, when she attempted the turn the go lever got pushed against the kid. Not enough snow for the skis to bite in and mom didn’t think to hit the kill switch.

    I didn't get any pictures, but we were using my friend's JD tractor to lift one side of his small utility trailer to put on new tires. I noticed the right side of the loader was moving. Looked under the tractor, looked like 6 of the 7 bolts that holds the upright were broken...:headbang::headbang:...bolts were much smaller than the Kubota bolts...

    It’s a good thing for him SHE was the one to do it. If it were him she would never let him for get it.
