Speed, lots of speed. Probably the inertial and chemical kind.

No, the Russians didn't get Studebaker trucks until lend-lease 3 years later, they were M series cabs like this one but with standard US Military noses. Coupe Express is car based, different chassis.

According to Fox News, utility loaders, stump grinders, trenchers, mini-excavators, and trailers were stolen in at least 50 separate incidents across 16 counties. The total value of the equipment closes in on $600,000.

The investigation began in late 2021 when Home Depot investigators began reviewing large equipment overdue rentals and found a pattern of activity in the southeast region, which includes the Tampa and Orlando area stores. The overdue rentals and thefts had several similarities: they were one-day rentals by renters with Orlando addresses, and the GPS devices installed in the units were disabled within hours of the equipment leaving the store. The stolen equipment was then posted on social media sales sites, such as Facebook marketplace.

Cop statement.

Broke one of those big glulam timber bents!  They were still hauling ass up until that impact.

In reply to Duke :

I like that they somehow hit exactly where the scoreboard was. I'm also amazed that the guilty vehicle wasn't a Nissan Altima. It has Big, nay, Huge Altima Energy

In reply to TurnerX19 :

I stand corrected.  :)

In reply to 914Driver :

I have now seen the tackiest thing I will ever see in my lifetime.

You're welcome.

In reply to NickD :

There is video of the crash. A small group of players were inside the gym at the time, luckily on the opposite end of the building.

I was torn between "There's too many cameras these days" and "I hope this was caught on camera."

Read a story about this plane recently.  The guy bought the first one from war surplus after the war and it was delivered with full fuel tanks.  The purchaser (name escapes me) only had a single engine private pilots license and was in way over his head.   On his first refueling stop, the landing gear wouldn't extend so he belly landed it.  The man in charge with the military war surplus basically gave him a new plane that only had 50 hours on it.  He hired a professional crew to deliver it this time, which is the plane over the station.  After the man's death the plane was sold to a group that is going to restore it.
