Re: WRX 1, house 0

a place in my home town of new richmond had this problem.

alot of people tried to bury the neddle of their cars on the road, and they would misjudge the stopping distance required. So they would bounce the curb and hit this persons house. Apparently it was too common and about once a year he would have someone hit the house. Sometimes it would be minimal damage, other times they'd have to get a wrecker to pull the car out.

So he purchased some massive boulders. And place them so that if a car were to be unable to stop. They'd be eating some big rocks instead of his living room. They have a few gashes in them and i've seen pictures of one car up on it's side from hitting them.

Wow! I watched the video. That Sti must have been going pretty fast. It traveled a long way through the grass before plowing all the way through that house. Damn!!

I think its time to buy those boulders.

later,
Curt
