I'll sue her too, for a new jeep and for emotional distress of having run over some kid.

Also, I leave my swaybar disconnected after wheeling all the time and my jeep handles fine on the highway, for 100+ miles. I never do sharp turns either, because I feel like I'd flop even without the swaybar!

My jeep isn't insanely lifted or on huge tires though, maybe that makes it handle better.

YOU let your child run out into traffic and cause an accident, where I hit him, flip my jeep and MY kids and MY wife get hurt and you will pay the price.

Even if I don't get hurt, if I just don't see him until the last moment and run him over, I still don't need that on my conscience, just because you were an irresponsible parent.

Why should I have to live knowing I ran over some kid, because you were too lazy and dumb to raise your children?

Please, if you can't raise a kid and keep him out of the road, don't have him! If you already had him, put him up for adoption!

Your child is endangering lives.

I think this thread has outlived its value.

He over corrected and flipped the Jeep twice, and totalled it. Landed upside down in a ditch.

There was not a lot left of the Jeep and had he had a passenger, that person would be six feet under. The windshield completely crumbled on that side. as for the driver, he walked away with a broken nose, and was extremely lucky.

Glad to hear that you are attaching your sway bars again.

I have been giving advice to reconnect for a couple of years, now.

sarcasm definition


A form of irony in which apparent praise conceals another, scornful meaning. For example, a sarcastic remark directed at a person who consistently arrives fifteen minutes late for appointments might be, “Oh, you've arrived exactly on time!”

He has luckily learned his lesson.

I don't think the adjuster/insurance even noticed they are missing.
The Jeep was obviously totalled.
