What's the problem?

The Vespa didn't suffer but some dust on it....

Make you glad we've got sig rules here, doesn't it?

budster101 · Jul 21, 2005, 11:34 AM

At least we have a bit of taste here at MacNN... wow, some of those sigs just distract.

EdGein · Jul 21, 2005, 11:39 AM

I don't think anyone is really wanting that sort of thing here.

It's the "OMG YOU ARE TEH ONE PIXEL OVER!11 CHANGE IT!1" silliness that was going on.

It seems to have leveled off a bit as I seen more and more people with larger sigs, and the mods not caring.

What is with the trend of posting car crash images around here lately?

We don't complain over 1px. Never have. It's when it's substantially bigger that the member is reminded of the rules via PM.

Off topic:

Jeez tooki... why did you close that other thread about mods?

I was going to suggest:

- Breath Fresheners
- Mohawks all around
- At least one piercing, tongue optional
- Doc Martins (At least one pair in the closet
- Speaks ebonics...

Back on topic:

Uhm. Ok. I think it was just a typical chick driving... <ducking>

jasonsRX7 · Jul 21, 2005, 03:08 PM

I'd have resized the pics myself and rehosted them, but I didn't have time right then.

On topic, I'd like to see the insurance payout figure for that... Holy sheep ****, batman.

budster101 · Jul 21, 2005, 03:14 PM

Payout? I'd like to see how much their premiums went up...

Funny, cuz i have lots of piercings, have been wanting a hawk for a while, and have been meaning to buy a pair of black boots!

And yeah, I have a hunch that the insurance company cancelled that policy after paying out!!!

budster101 · Jul 21, 2005, 03:22 PM

You have a hunch? (Just teasing) That was one of my other options for a great moderator...

-

I'd think the Insurance Company would payout then make them pay over several years in premiums before cancelling... that would be evil. (Pronounced Eeeee-vil.)

tooki · Jul 21, 2005, 03:32 PM

I think they'd cut their losses before the guy crashes another car into another house. (Or, the same house, LOL!)

budster101 · Jul 21, 2005, 03:33 PM

That would be funny... "He hates this house"...

MarkLT1 · Jul 21, 2005, 03:36 PM

Seriously.. that guy should go out and buy a lotter ticket!!

I mean, of all the garage doors to plow through in Arkansas, and he picks the ONE with a Ferrari sitting behind it?!?!?!

tooki · Jul 21, 2005, 03:39 PM

Hehehehe!

GSixZero · Jul 21, 2005, 04:03 PM

It must suck to be the guy who was driving the truck. Most state's mandatory minimums on liability wouldn't cover the cost of replacing the Ferrari. That means he gets stuck with the balance for the repairs. In Arkansas, the minimum insurance coverage is $25,000 for property damage. Some how I doubt from the looks of things that the Ferrari is totaled, but I wouldn't be surprised if the bill is more than $25K.

mitchell_pgh · Jul 21, 2005, 04:13 PM

tooki,

Do you mind if I make my sig like this?

I'm guessing it could be MUCH more... it all depends.

Took, I was actually complimenting on the lack of analness lately about it. Stop being so defensive about criticism. Esp when someone was actually trying to commend the lack of analness.

And yes, there was once I had a sig that was one pixel off and since a certain group didn't like it, complained and I was asked to remove it because it was one pixel off.

But that had nothing to do with you...

Ferari owner: "My attorney will be in touch."
Truck driver (sober now): "But I'm dirt poor!"
Ferari owner: "No problem! Sell both your kidneys, sell your house, get a second and third job, and you can make payments until you're 137. I'm flexible!"

The problem is that the truck driver is probably going to do some time for this bone-headed stunt, so even with an attorney the Ferari guy won't get enough out of him. At least his scooter's ok!

P.S.: No hawk-though at different times I've had a REALLY short buzz cut and a short 'fro. I spent over 20 years wearing black boots every day-meh! (Mine were more comfortable and practical than Doc's anyway.) Two rather mundane piercings (one in each earlobe). Will NOT even consider recognizing someone speaking ebonics. But Altoids RULE! (I miss the cinamon tin with Betty Page as a devil, though...

)

I saw the same model Ferrari at lunch parked outside of Starbucks.

Considering a minor service for those things run like 5-10K... I'd think 25K isn't gonna cover much. Nonetheless, if I was the Ferrari owner, I'd hope its considered totaled.... there's no way I'd want that back at all.

FulcrumPilot · Jul 21, 2005, 07:46 PM

That truck would not have dared to do that if it was a hummer inside.

budster101 · Jul 21, 2005, 10:49 PM

Oh yeah, Hummer.... oh. Never mind.
