Default "...when his brakes failed." Right. I'd like to see the diagnosis of the car.

A guy who hit me years ago told the police his brakes didn't work. Oddly enough, he drove it away from the scene and the brakes worked just fine.

Default lol yea those things really shouldnt fail.....

He had to have been going a lot faster, and was able to slow to 50. Still out car could go to zero hard like that over and over without issues. Sounds like the guy needs a driving lesson.

Default I know tell me about it! The guy was probably doing more than 50mph, and I'm sure his brakes worked

just fine. I'm sure the cops didn't fall for that one.

Default HiTec, where abouts do you live to White Eagle?

I live right across 59 in the townhomes across from White Eagle. It was only a matter of time until there was a major accident in White Eagle. Alot of people fly through that neighborhood. That is really unfortunate for the owner of the home. For those of you who don't know the area, those homes are million dollar plus homes.

Default Did you live there when sombody vandalized the sign?

The entrance to this subdivision says "White Eagle Club". It's million+ dollar home in there. Well for six months or so the sign read "White Club". It was funny as hell and I laughed everytime I drove past.

I live in a subdivision off Eola in Aurora.

Default Need4spdnb...I've seen you around the Coffee shop @ 59 & 95th

What caught my eye were your rims. Looking good! For what it's worth i drive a silver 2000 S4. I live right around the corner from you as well.

Default When did the sign get vandalized?

I have lived in my townhome for the past 2.5 years. I don't do a whole lot of driving by White Eagle because I can't stand the people in there but I wish I would have seen the sign when it was vandalized.

Default dvlad, do you park your car by Subway at 59 and 95th?

I always see a B5 Silver S4 there. I am over by the coffee shop quite a bit, not because I like coffee (can't stand it) but because I go to Quiznos quite a bit. We also go to the pet shop over there and Subway alot.
