It's 12:00 here in boston, I woke up to this loud sound outside my apartment. Someone JUST rolled a BMW 6 series outside my house. It;s upside down right now outside my bedroom window (20ft from me). Some princess, walked away from it, not drunk, just talking on her cell phone.

Weird part is, i live in Southie. Who drives a $60,000 car in my part of town? Random.

Totalled her car, just dented $5,000 the mini van she hit.

If she was, she didn't look the part. More yuppie-esque. The father that showed up while they were tipping it back over sure as hell didn't look like a dealer.



Though he did look a little homicidal. Laughing

Nope, I saw it about 2 weeks ago.
Traveling the interstate and light traffic suddenly stops. Must be an accident. After about an hour, we get slowly moving again. A quarter of a mile later, I see the accident as we creep by on the left shoulder.

A vehicle transport is on it's side in the ditch, about 11-13 cars strewn about the roadway, shoulder and ditch, on their sides, roof or wheels. Cars had hit cars, and since none were brand new (with the protective paper stuff) you couldn't tell which cars were on the trailer and which were already on the road. Wish I couldn't gotten a picture of that!

Huh. When I see those big car haulers full of brand new cars, I always wonder if one has tipped, spilling new cars all over the road...

Not just cars either.....with the realestate market the way it is, many homeowners are finding themselves upside down in their home loans.....



others are just plain upsidedown.
