I hear that japanese engines don't stand up too well to a .50 AE right into the engine block...  Though sometimes you might need a second.


Sort of hard to run without an engine.


Correct me if I am wrong, but that would be improper use of a fire arm, even though we do live in an unincorporated part of the county where firearm discharge is indeed allowed. ;)

I understand your thoughts though! Would love to do that! However its illegal and reckless.

Now, Rip, would that be more, or less illegal then a hit and run?  ;)

It's legal if you first yell "He's coming right for us!!"

If the plates were local (if she could catch the state), check any body shops for Hondas needing front end body work. Being that is's a Honda, it most likely carries significant damage from an accident like that. Go out crusing the local scene and see if you can find the car. Even if it's in a junkyard, the plates will yield the previous owner.

Glad to hear your wife is ok. I hope they find the bastard.

Rip, you said it happened at an intersection. Were there any surveilence cameras? Maybe a corner 7-11 got a pic.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

My mistake on explanation. This is a rural road. The "intersection" is a street turn off into our Platte.  We have a few cows in the field across the way that might be able to id the car though! ;)

Good thinking! But, wife said the Honda was a real beater, and that the "couple" appeared to not be well off... ie, white trailer trash.  Chances are slim they'd have the money to do it at a body shop.  I'm going to do some cruising this week end around some questionable neighborhoods about 7 miles from here on Sat. We'll see what turns up.

Is that an SUV or a truck she was driving?  It seems to have protected her well.

Or what you could do is sit at that intersection for a couple of days and see if the Honda happens by around the same time.

99' Ford Explorer XLS. (No side airbags)

This rural road is a killer. Luckily, our neighborhood has its own entrance and road off the main rural road. The main road is posted 35 mph but if you do 50 mph on it, you'll get tail gated.  Many of those little white crosses speckle this 6 mile stretch of road.  People driving too fast, or driving drunk, hit these bigs fir trees that line the road.
