I bet she float really well too and avoid drowning if her car ever flew into a lake. How giant bad boob jobs may save your life.

Now mind you, I did not get this story from a reputable source, but it seemed reasonable to me.

A Bulgarian car crash victim was saved by her humongous knockers during a car crash.

boob job saves driver as airbags

Elena Marinova, 24, from Sofia, was involved in a full frontal crash with another car in the northern city of Ruse. A police expert explained that the 40DD silicone implants absorbed the impact of the crash.

“They worked just like airbags - protecting the victim’s ribs and vital organs from damage”

Go figure, I always thought they were a bad idea, gotta say I may have been wrong.

For anyone who really likes vintage trains, here ya go. This is the 1903 flick called The Great Train Robbery from Thomas Edison. Its a great Vintage film with a wicked looking train… being robbed by some old west crooks.

Very, Very cool vintage western film

Here is some background info on The Great Train Robbery.

The Great Train Robbery was directed and photographed by Edwin S. Porter - a former Thomas Edison cameraman. It was a primitive one-reeler action picture, about 10 minutes long, with 14-scenes, filmed in November 1903 - not in the western expanse of Wyoming but on the East Coast in various locales in New Jersey (at Edison’s New York studio, at Essex County Park in New Jersey, and along the Lackawanna railroad).The plot was inspired by a true event that occurred on August 29, 1900, when four members of George Leroy Parker’s (Butch Cassidy) ‘Hole in the Wall’ gang halted the No. 3 train on the Union Pacific Railroad tracks toward Table Rock, Wyoming. The bandits forced the conductor to uncouple the passenger cars from the rest of the train and then blew up the safe in the mail car to escape with about $5,000 in cash.

If you’re afraid of flying you may want to stay away from the high tech Ukrainian airplanes. Looks like they really do just throw a piece of tape over the problem and call it a day. A passenger on a Ukrainian flight took these pics of the duct tape holding the plane he was on together.

Subcompact VS horse, from the ass side, they both lost.

This car hit a horse, not really sure how since horses do not just hang out on city streets. But this horse vs car accident looks like it ended badly for all involved since the car that hit the horse is the size of a lunch box with little room left inside for a passenger with the horse in it..

A Compton Dumb ass who caused the largest Metrolink disaster to date by staging a fake suicide to gain the sympathy of his wife is finally tried . It seems that in the past he used fake suicide attempts to get her back. Three years ago he parked his Jeep on the train tracks and ran out of the way. The Jeep derailed the train killing 11 passengers. The train cars wreck is pictured below as it is transported.

His plan did however work, he now has his wife back and probably her sympathy since he is facing Life in Prison on 11alvarez.jpg counts of murder.

The Jeep / train wreck from the LA Times - A Compton man willfully caused a deadly commuter train wreck three years ago in an extreme, but apparently successful, attempt to regain the affections of his estranged wife, prosecutors said Monday.

“He needed to do something big to get her attention,” prosecutor Cathryn Brougham said during opening statements in the trial of Juan Manuel Alvarez, who on Jan. 26, 2005, parked his vehicle over railway tracks and fled minutes before it was hit by an oncoming Metrolink train.

The prosecution accused Alvarez of conducting a “pretend suicide” similar to several such acts he had allegedly committed in the past.

“He would use these pretend suicide attempts throughout his life in order to get attention, sympathy and pity,” Brougham said.

wrecked porscheSo I have no idea how this expensive car wreck got resolved, but here is the story…

This is from a discussion from a year back, but it’s interesting how this customer got treated after the dealer wrecked his very nice Porsche 996 on a test drive.

This is a discussion on a board started by the owner of the porsche

I brought my ‘03 996 cab to the dealer for minor warranty work. On a road test, the tech got into an accident in my car. The impact was to the front right portion of the car. Headlamp assembly, hood,bumper, fender, door, radiators, wheel well plastics, wires, hoses, etc. It looks like at least $10,000 in repairs. My car has approx. 16,000 miles and was perfect in all ways before the wreck. What should I do???? I would think that it’s not too much for me to ask them to buy my car for at least the market value just before the wreck. What do you think?

wreckporche9961.JPGSupposedly, the tech driving my car was making a left hand turn against 2 lanes of traffic. From what he said, he was motioned by the driver of the oncoming car closest to him, to make his dangerous turn, and never saw the other car coming in the other lane, which resulted in the accident. The tech was ticketed for the accident

OK, wrecks happen. They just do, but the way a dealership deals with someone is what we are talking about here. I could attempt to wax poetic regarding what jerks they are being but, instead read some of these quotes for yourself, from the owner of the car:

After today’s meeting with 3 of the dealerships manager’s, I don’t feel any better about the situation. I told them what I wanted and they told me what they want to do for me. Basically, repair the car and give it back to me. I absolutely refused that suggestion and demanded to be made “whole”. Apparently, no one in the meeting had any authority to deal with me. I allowed them to get an estimate from their body shop. And am awaiting a phone call back from the “real” GM. I will keep you informed….

But this is when the dealership just get’s stupid.

Man goes 76 years without an accident just to get into a great one at the age of 93.

Seems that feeling that you gotta try everything al least once, Mr. Higgs took out 2 showroom porches with his little compact car.

man wrecks 2 porchesMr Higgs, a retired Pentecostal minister, was parking next to a Porsche showroom when his car shot backwards.

First, his 13-year-old hatchback hit a gleaming red Carrera II which acted as a ramp, causing Mr Higgs’s car to flip over on to a silver Porsche 911 parked alongside.

If you are going to have an accident after 76 years of incident-free motoring, you might as well do it in style - though that was the last thing on Jack Higgs’s mind as he hurtled towards two Porsches.

Staff in the showroom ran outside to be confronted by a scene of wreckage and Mr Higgs hanging upside down by his seatbelt in his overturned car.

motorcycle-deer-accident.jpgI have seen way too many deer and moose car accidents and I gotta say, the car normally fairs as well as the animal, a wreck. But this story is pretty amazing. It’s hard to believe that this accident was not a car vs. deer, but a motorcycle. Moose and deer usually smash up the car, but, the bike riders were just fine and the bike came out of it in one piece.

These 2 motorcycle riders are so lucky! It’s hard to believe that they did not get hurt. This is really an amazing bike accident.

Here is the story from the driver of the motorcycle:

This from Roy and Heidi with the Colorado High Country Cruisers:

motorcycle hits deer on freeway

It was a beautiful morning in Southwest Colorado as we heading out of the canyon on highway 145 for highway 92 and the Dallas Divide. Nice ride out of the canyon from Telluride to highway 92 where we turned to head over the Dallas Divide. Made it over the divide and headed downhill to Ridgeway at a nice leisurely pace.
