I don't want to see a picture of him now. My brain is adopting the picture you posted as Uncle Wede. It is done, it is defined, it cannot be changed.

But,



I don't have a beard.

OK, scruff, since I shave 1-2x/week, but no beard.

I don't think he was, as you say "retarded" but word on the street is, Andre the Giant has a posse.

Dammit, I can't see the video. Pretty sure I know what scene you're referencing. I figured you, of everyone on here, would have got the Shepherd Fairey reference.

Oh really, that's unfortunate. I LOL'd when I first saw that movie and that scene in particular. You can remember the Zach Galifianakis character reference Rainman being a "re-TARD" while they were driving their convertible to Vegas. He said it a couple of times and the other guys have this WTF look on their face and say "you mean RE-tard".

Oh and you must be referring to this?

Interesting morning. I’m having coffee and hear a big bang. I open the front door and there’s smoke everywhere and I hear loud metal scraping noises. I see my neighbors car wiped out across the street. I walk outside and look down the block and through the smoke I see a pickup truck driving away with sparks flying. His axle snapped when he hit the car and his wheel came off. How far does he think he’s going to go? Neighbors followed the scrape marks in the street and found the pickup on fire about a mile away. Happy Saturday.

Lets hope the pickup wasn't stolen so there's a better chance to find the driver and hold him/her accountable.

Sigh! A scene I'm all too familiar with.

Lets hope the pickup wasn't stolen so there's a better chance to find the driver and hold him/her accountable.
Here's what will likely happen (…based on experience)….

…no eyewitnesses can put any individual in the car by way of gender/physical description, so the registered owner will be off the hook. Assuming the registered owner was behind the wheel, it is almost certain they were DUI alcohol or DUI drugs, and with the lapse in time there will be no way to validate/prove that. It is also a near certainty the vehicle will be reported "stolen".

If there were any eyewitnesses and the gender/physical description of the registered owner matches that of the driver, law enforcement will still need to rely on camera footage from someone's NEST/RING or from a traffic camera in order to place the registered owner in the vehicle.

The vehicle catching fire also complicated things. The likelihood of any relevant evidence surviving the fire is low.

This will be a mess for detectives. Thankfully no innocent persons were injured.

Just hope it wasn't a BMW that was wrecked and a cam catches the culprit walking or running away, in NYC the cops should be sharp on that.

It was 2 year old Infiniti. They also have a brand new X3 which was in their driveway. The Infiniti is normally parked in front of their house but for some reason they parked it across the street last night. I live in one of the outer boroughs of NYC, Probably the most suburban. I imagine one of the neighbors has cameras.

Shame there wasn't a cruiser in the vicinity hearing the commotion and intercepting the suspect doing that grinding mile; Thank goodness it wasn't your vehicle which I guess is garaged.

….and peeps, please keep full coverage on your vehicle(s) at all times, even once the vehicle is paid off. I've lost count of how many vehicle collisions I've responded to only to tell the registered owner(s) they are out of luck.
