Hits close to home, I understand.

Yet, it belittles both the Kylo Ren/Ben Solo character and honest criticism.

Just because I think Rose is an awful character doesn't make me a misogynist.

The part about that movie that annoys me the most is how was she able to not only catch up to Finn but go horizontally across and knock him away.

She must have used the force.

I'm sure Finn's speeder was still operating at 100% capacity in terms of speed and maneuverability, which makes it totally implausible that another not-battle-damaged speeder could have caught up with him. For sure, that's a major plot hole. I mean, it's not like we saw his speeder physically breaking apart and taking damage from the laser ram. Johnson would't be so careless as to not give the audience a visual indication of what was going on.

Speeder damaged. Finn not hurt.

Is that supposed to be some kind of story hangup? Because I'm not sure how that's supposed to be some kind of story hangup.

I was in a single-car accident (I was doing over 100 mph on Sunset Blvd when I lost the rear end..... I know it was irresponsible, I've already done my penance) that totaled my car, and completely crushed in the drivers' side, including embedding a metal lamp post in the seat headrest. I walked away with a stiff neck and mild concussion.

That explains why your hair is white. Got damn.

Where do you even get a chance to get up to 100 mph on Sunset?

Best part of that incident was the two cops that responded to my 911 call. One of them was taking my statement while the other paced off the tire skid marks. Skid mark guy came back and sort of whispered in the first cop's ear, and the guy said, "How fast did you say you were going?" And I was like, "I dunno, maybe 40-50, something like that."

"Oh," said the cop. "Because your tire marks trace out around 108 feet."

*crickets*

"Don't worry, we aren't going to give you a ticket. We rolled a cruiser last week and we'd get heaps of s--t if we came back in with this citation. Besides, it looks like you've learned your lesson here."

Skid mark guy

The bit behind UCLA and the Playboy Mansion. It was like 3 am, there was no traffic, and I felt like being an dadhole. Got to a righthand kink and turned in, then realized I forgot what direction the road went after that. So I dabbed the brakes right as the car was cresting a rise. When the weight came back down on the front suspension with the wheels turned, the rear of the car decided it wanted to be the front of the car, and around I went. When I hit the lamp post (in a closed off driveway) I was actually rotated around about 110° from the axis of the street and was essentially driving backwards.

Strictly speaking, there were two of us this night.

How long ago was this? What kind of car?

Postby **tifosi77** » Mon Jul 09, 2018 1:09 pm

Joined Sunset off Mapleton in the upper left (white left arrow), drove eastbound with the road going gradually downhill through that long left, started uphill at around Deflhern Dr, continuing through those two righthand kinks at Baroda and Carrolwood. The white up arrow is where I lost the car, and the red star on the right is where I actually crashed.

This was January 2002 in a '95 Eagle Talon.

There's a lot more to the story of me and that evil car, but I think that's enough for today.

I think this is just the beginning to mulholland drive
