[JustMrWill]

Driving Southbound on 495 last Friday...came across this...just happened to have my digital camera in the car...sorry about not getting great pictures but..hey..I was driving first...taking pictures second <br /><br />You may be seeing this boat/trailer on ebay soon...probably read something like...<br /><br />"...boat with slight gelcoat damage...trailer needs some cosmetic work..."<br /><br />

<br /><br /><br />OUCH...glad it wasn't me...looks like he spun out by the skid marks...<br /><br />-JustMrWill

Discussion going on in first photo,<br />"Did you check the trailer brakes?" <br />"No, I thought you checked the trailer brakes."

Wow. <br /><br />I guess that's what can happen after you've been partying naked in Mexico.

My guess would be going too fast (in a hurry to get to the Cape) and overreacted to something in the road...looks like he started in middle lane (from the trailer skid marks)<br /><br />I felt bad for him...would REALLY hate for that to be me (and my boat is not nearly as nice as his...well as his WAS).<br /><br />-JustMrWill

two words: day um!<br /><br />I can just hear that drivers thoughts, "Oh crap we're gonna die...wait, maybe I can pull it off...hey, I think I'm gonna make it... ... ...dangit I knew I shoulda brought a change of underwear"<br /><br />I think you did a fine job with the photography, by the way - really captured the moment.

"Look back and check the trailer lights while I swerve a little."
