Nope but I'd sure hate to roll one over, assuming they can go fast enough to do that. :ohno:

Best use of the Trabant ever. By far.

I would like about 10 minutes with the "hammer." We would see how tough he really is.


I live in the market where Lowell "The Hammer" Stanley advertises. I swear that is where they got the idea for "better call Saul" on Breaking Bad. He must be the poster child for ambulance chasers.

There's one better though. When I lived in Mississippi there was a lawyer named Bennie Turner. He had one of these personal injury ads on TV every day while we were watching the news at lunch time. The closing line was "Call Bennie Turner, he'll get whats coming to you". I believe that is what they call truth in advertising.

Shortly after getting my pilot's license I flew into some clouds at night and almost became a statistic. Needless to say, it was scary and since I survived it was a good lesson. However, at no time did I ever think it was Grumman's fault (I was flying a Tiger at the time) that I got myself into that situation.

Grumman is now owned by Northrop, Northrop is rich, just like those evil rich insurance companies with their stock-market profits that pay all those liability claims, right ?

Only recently (11 month, 23 days ago), through hypnosis, you have become aware of the trauma this cloud encounter YOU WERE NOT WARNED OF caused you. I am sure there is someone who can get a couple of millions for you in a Philadelphia, PA courtroom.

Insufficient horsepower was the leading safety feature. Didn't help when they encountered those russian built trucks though :bugeye: .

Currently in Wisconsin and have been watching the TV personal injury attorney commercials. "My attorney got me $60,000!" On behalf of my profession and fellow BT attorneys, I would like to apologize. Your opinions of personal injury attorneys, using these commercials as the standard, is justifiable.

I actually laughed out loud at it. An embarrassment and a black eye for sure.
