"Notice: Due to INSURANCE restrictions no one is permited to be within 10 feet of this wall"

That guy is ****ing hardcore!

Even though the rear tire missed him by less that 2 feet, he's still snappin' pics when it's comin' over the wall at him.... it's a good thing that old man is probably already wearin' a diaper.

I watched that on TV and my wife and I were pointing at him and yelling at the TV watching him back up.

Yeah, but your car has a little more to keep you safe than a red vest.

Those pics got passed around the office here- Definitely some crazy stuff!
