Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 that kid must have been flying to kill someone in a H2 Hummer. It might be time to raise the driving age as kids and people today are less mature than they used to be at the same age. People used to start families at 16 where now 26 may be too earlier.

White Linen Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Dennis Byrd was driving the Hummer. He meant the Hummer should be able to take quit a hit - so the young man must have been going real fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
