[Relak]

Too early to get up, And id rather go to the range and shoot lol. I'll probably start going again when the weather warms up

[mr_tofu]

What ranges do you frequent?

I usually goto ESS or Sharpshooters. I goto Peacemaker every now and then to shoot long range.

Maryland small arms range was my last local but since we moved to silver spring I'm in the market for a new indoor range.

I just got a new Ruger 10-22 though so I'll likely be headed up to Westminster to the Carroll county outdoor long range. Where is peacemaker and what's the max distance there?

[chillindrdude]

Peacemaker is just over the line in WV, North of Winchester. You can shoot out to 1200yds out there.

Ah, that'd be just as far if not further than Westminster for me. Either way depends on the wind tomorrow. Might just save it for Sunday and if that's the case I'll go to Katie's.

I think I heard a mustang try to run someone over at the 9sec mark

[cotmfk]

The woman was driving. Apparently she thought she was in Drive, but was actually in Reverse. Panicked and hit the gas harder.

Also second-hand knowledge. Apparently the husband had just finished restoring the Mercedes. Ouch on all fronts.

[EALm4]

This is trending on FB right now lol

^ can't believe the first words out of his mouth were "are you serious..."

Happened on Saturday, anyone here see it live?

What a shitty day for both parties!

[cotmfk]

Yeah I was there. I walked up when the Mercedes was already on the hood of the Speciale.

Drew a huge crowd

Someone blatantly backs into your $400,000 exotic in their piece of SH*T old bucket Mercedes trying to pass off as a real collectible in broad daylight WITH its top down... what do you expect him to say!? "Hi ma'am, I'm sorry to inform you that you damaged my $400,000 because you weren't paying attention... can I kiss your a$$ just bc you're a woman too?" WTF!🙄 In my opinion he was about as classy as it gets considering the circumstances. He can't even put a claim on that otherwise the depreciation will KILL that car, he has to have the BEST body and paint shop try to make it look factory while keeping it off the history report. Even then the paint will show on a meter and still affect the value to a discerning buyer...😒

[cotmfk]

Agreed. I thought he handled it really well considering.

What were you expecting his first words to be?

[bb1857]

Yeah I am pretty sure I would have lost my shit on that lady. I know its accident but if she was paying attention it likely wouldn't have happened. My first sentence would have been laced with profanity lol. Also a sorry from the woman as the guy walked would have been nice to hear.

If you're thinking I was looking for extreme confrontation, no I wasn't. I don't know the guy, but he handled it pretty calmly, almost like he was in shock.

With EVERYONE today cellphone video happy, it was probably his best attempt to be civil. As for me I'm not sure I would have done so well.

[iewgnaw]

the people in the back saying "atleast no one is hurt"

kick a man while he is down

[EALm4]

Merc dude is parent of the year. Kids in back of a vert with no seat belt and exactly why you dont let bae drive your ride.

Someone here has to either know the Ferrari owner or knows some one that knows him.

We need a follow up haha

Be nice to know, my guess is the Merc guy is out of pocket big! But I would guess like the guy that made headlines leaving a C&C gathering, putting his SO M4 flying over a curb and over into the oncoming lane...my guess is this quiets down and goes away quickly.
