Ok, a VW Jetta isn't a ricer. I should have said when underpowered import owners go stupid.

Dumb Girl in passenger seat is lucky she's not a pancake at IHOP. If that is real of course. How did these people survive this long, where is Darwinism when you need it?

When ricers go STUPID



story has it that there was 800 pounds of concrete mix in the back seat- blew the rear struts right through the floor of the trunk, when the cops came he was under the plywood trying to cut off the twine/rope holding it onto the roof.

their additudes were "odd"

police suspect they were in the process of building a new crack house

I read the article on this just this morning. It said the total weight was a little over 3000 lbs and that the home depot made them sign a release before loading that weight into the car.

Wow this brings a new meaning to STUPID I know that Home Depot made them sign a release, but regardless they shouldn't have loaded that! In my opinion it is like selling a gun to someone who says that they are going to use it to kill someone (not including self-defense)

I am no engineer but the "string" would not hold all that
wood on the roof. Also the back part of the roof would
buckle under the weight. Do you think?
