I've been able to do it since i learned it forwards. My dad(rip) would always, randomly, say "Lee, say the alphabet backwards without stopping." I can say it backwards faster than most can forwards.

This should be covered under home owners insurance cause the car was in the garage? Right?

In general, nope; when a vehicle that's being driven strikes a house and the driver is conscious when the wreck happens, the auto policy will pay out for the damages.

If it had been a tree or lightning, then the homeowner's would cover it. But since it was a moving vehicle, the policy of the moving vehicle will have to pay since the driver in effect caused the damage to the house.

Heh we already did that cause we were sick of people taking out our fences/garage (lost a fence 4 or 5 times, garage got hit twice) We've had one guy hit the boulders

"They suggest more patrols for speeders and as well as some type of speed bump."

Some type of speed bump, rather than just a speed bump. He's gotta be able to get his now even lower Ferrari over it...

PSH. I never slow down for speed bumps. Hell, I speed up for 'em. It's pretty damn anticlimatic from what you would think, in fact they go by with much less of a fuss if you're doing about 45. I've also found that if you floor it as the rear wheels are coming off the bump, it greatly reduces the shock.

Now, a speed dip, I would probably slow down for. Or speed potholes perhaps?

I agree about the speed actually - and it helps even more if you're not on the brakes (from any speed). Might be a bit different in a Ferrari which barely (or doesn't) clear the bump though...

Any speed dips I've encountered are very short in length (full width of the road, but only 6 inches or so in the other dimension) so you just sail right over them at speed

Guys, you're forgetting he's a bodyshop owner... he'll just buff it out when he gets into the office on monday.

That garage has actually been hit several times.

Were you by any chance driving a Ford pickup?

"the teenage driver reached for a cell phone"...

just awful...

Actually you tend to drive better when your drunk because all you think about is not swerving.
