With the recent cruddy (and ongoing) weather around here, I thought this little tidbit might be appropriate:
4X4 Vehicles
The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had covertly funded a project with U.S. auto makers for the past five years, whereby the auto makers were installing black boxes in four wheel drive vehicles in an effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash.
They were surprised to find in 46 of the 50 states the last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh, $#!+!"
Only the states of Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin were different, where 89.3 percent of the final words were: "Hold my beer and watch this!":D
