Are they hard to grow? I love their flowers. :involve:
I actually got this 3 years ago at Lowes. Already had flowers on it and I figured it would be dead once they fell off. VERY easy to take care of. It's called some kind of ice orchid. You put 3 ice cubes in the pot each week and that's it. Not much to look at when there are no flowers on it. Just these big leaves hanging off one side. I'll put the whole picture here once my stupid phone uploads it to the cloud.

People tear up the 2wd Uhaul pickup trucks, I can’t imagine what they’d do to a Jeep. :cwl:
OH goodness, the 26 ft truck I had was pretty banged up. And I find that to be a miracle that I didn't smash the 50 people that cut me off when I was driving that thing.

Well, my first thought is OUCH! Upon reflection I'd have to guess that the fool had all the safeties turned off. There is NO way to do that if you have them on. The car will not let you spin it out, we tried at skewl and we were on water soaked pavement. They are also called grannys. Macho dorks prolly turn them off cuz they have to be cool. These cars stick to the pavement like fukn glue! I call bullshit! Trina can attest also. She and her SO have an even more radical one than mine.

There are 2 old 24-26 footers in our lot that were just retired. 1999s I think. That’s ok. I get to drive a 2018 freightliner. It’s a service vehicle and not rented out of course :)
I was a little disappointed I wasn't able to get one of those shiny new F-650s... but then again you said they were slow once so I guess I did all right.

That fool is VP of design at GM. Crashed it on national TV, in GM's home city of Detroit, and the impact just beneath a big Chevy banner. That guy will NEVER live this one down!

I've watched it a couple more times and it looks to me like he is still trying to accelerate based on the way the car breaks loose and is burning rubber. I could be all wet, but that's what I see.

Even a sh!tty driver could have kept that off the wall, by simply stomping the brakes. Lock 'em up and ride it out.

A light tap on the brakes would have also helped. I have to correct myself just a bit in his defense. At the school they did say it can be done but you REALLY gotta be out of your mind and force the car out of control. I still say grannys were off.

IIRC they said they've only had a guy go into the gravel once and minor stuff like that. They never mentioned anybody totally out of control like that. Wonder if he is destined for a new job. :)
