Well, I wouldn't say the Jeep driver had an excess of brain power, but
I think the real moron is the individual who tries to blame the machine.

That crash was caused by what we call a "spacer" problem.  This is the
defective part that fills the space between the steering wheel and the
driver's seat.

LOL! I've never blamed the hammer, but I've been known to throw one and cuss

LOL!  Any time you see young white guys wearing their hats backwards
(for many, it's all the time), you can always bet on something stupid
happening.

Making an accurate observation is neither.
It is merely a statement of the truth.

My point was that it was unnecessarily narrow.  When you see guys of
other colors, and old guys, with their hats on backwards you can still
bet on something stupid happening (it's arguable whether something
stupid has *already* happened when he put his hat on).

The only time I had a hat on backwards was when I was slinging shingles
on a roofing job.  Kept the back of my neck from getting charred.  Left
a nice sunburned D on my forhead. :/

Oh for Chrissakes!
What a crock of sh.t.
My husband is white, and - well - not a youngin I can assure you.

He wears his hat backwards now and then.
know why?
1) It keeps it from blowing off when the top is off on the Jeep.
2) It keeps it from catching on fire when he's welding.
3) Keeps the brim from banging on his scope.

Ya'll are out of your f-ing minds if you think some is going to do something
stupid simply because they turn their hat around.

Kate, we recently watched a bunch with their hats turned of all ages on
ATV's literally say 'here hold my beer' to the folks watching and go out
to play touch football in the shallows of a lake 'on' their ATV's.

The last one still running won.

** Yea, I know. I agree that the 'hat on backwards' is often a good sign of
stupidity, but geeze...
(scratching my head) ... now that you mention it... they ARE guys.......
Personally, it's the ones that wear their visors (guys in visors to begin
with - ewwwww) upside down and backwards that just make me shake my head and
snikker.
Kind of goes with the pants down at half mast LOL

Then let us rephrase: Something stupid is about to happen when someone
wears their cap (not hat) backwards when they're NOT welding or trying
to keep their neck from sunburning (although a hat, not a cap, would be
a better solution in that case, but I'll adit that sometimes all I have
is a cap when I need sun protection). I wouldn't even turn mine around
to keep it from blowing off in my convertible- I wouldn't want to be
mistaken for a damnfool urban punk.
Kate - 23 Sep 2007 17:21 GMT
Ok ok... thank you.
Whenever Hubs turns his around in the Jeep, he always laughs and does or
says something silly..
Letting me know that he feels a little goofy.

In the case of my hubby... he is a bald headed guy. If he goes without a
cap, he's burnt.

So the Jeep rolled so what. That is part of the business when you
offroad like that. I do it all the time and yes my wrangler has rolled
and it has been fixed a few times. The same thing  would have happen
with a toyota a ford a isuzu and so on if you did the same thing. And
never blame a Jeep all because it rolled. To the F*cked up Jeep hater.
I hope the same thing happen happens to your little VW rabbit with you
in it. I just can not take stuff like this it is like shooting my dog
thaqt is how I feel.

That's a sign of junior-driver around here. Usually
found in a ricemobile.  It's hard to put a cap on
backwards in a truck.  Beak hits the window. ^_^

Now don't even get me going about the sideways ballcaps. :D

That video was a classic display of LNBW, Loose Nut Behind Wheel.
I've gone up steeper slopes in my unlifted ZJ.  Low and slow.
Especially on rock where you can get good traction.
