And so it begins....

osirus

the drama which unfolds of that which we would all call in the DFW.....Road Construction. Yep it's been ongoing for some time now and I have known that someday, somehow there would be a chance i may end up like the others....Yep you guessed it, stuck in a situation with no where to go and only to have a giant fullsize pickup slam right into the rear of my other car. Thank god everyone involved was alright but yeah the Lexus will be on its way to the shop on monday or so. Ughghghgh... Pics to come.

Yeah if you look in my galleries you will see we have a 11' 370z MB, 6MT which is our play toy on the weekends, and our daily drivers is our other pride and joy - 2009 IS 250 Sport Package SFP.

Sorry to hear Osirus, but at least you're alright

Drove through Dallas heading to Oklahoma yesterday up 35E and saw three wrecks. One roll over and two others in guard rails. Construction Im sure was part of it. Glad you are ok and I would hate to be you driving up there in that kind of traffic on a daily basis.

Yeah I, am glad that my gf and I and my kids were safe and sound. No injuries. Trust me this area is crap for driving cause of this shitty urban planning teams which coordinate the construction. Hey dallas urban development teams.......get a clue. Take a hint from a state that knows a thing about effective road construction. I should know I am from there originally. Call up the state of Michigan. They KNOW how to do construction for roads. Smh. On to the pics.
