I was caught behind a bunch of them a couple weeks ago in PG county on the outer loop. At night, no less. But not nearly as many, and was able to get by without much problem.

Fixed that link for you. Given the proximity to a dumbass ATV drover in the video, it sounds like Karma & Darwin got their dues. Hope the 12 yr old daughter makes it though.

If there were ever a time for a Mac truck with a cattle guard and a stuck accelerator, it would have been then.

This continuing saga turns my stomach.......

http://wtop.com/latin-america/2015/1...xico-by-phone/

Why a 3-day delay for deportation of the little POS? Has the family found someone in Mexico's law enforcement system willing to take a bribe? Or did they hire El Chapo's team to dig another tunnel? I sincerely hope this POS doesn't end up on the lam again.

IMHO, he, his mom, their lawyer that came up with the "affluenza defense", and the judge that bought it.......are all POS's.


But don't mind me...I'm just exercising my right to extend the Festivus airing of grievances period.

Par for the course in south of the border legal proceedings, at least for those who can afford it.

Best scenario would be if he does something stupid and pisses off the wrong folks down there, and winds up with a long stay in a Mexican prison.
