did he shut it off too soon, or was it for lack of oil?
i'm not sure what actually caused the turbo to blow, but he said he was driving down the highway with a cloud of smoke around him
yikes. At least it didn't get "run on".....that shit is absolutely frightening
IS that a dildo slamming beers?
I had a f450 diesel run away on me a few years ago. Driving along, it starts hauling ass by itself, I put it in nuetral, then it revved until it blew up. Then I put a new motor. It was very scary.

I think that's the joke.
There's a big, old water tower or something on a hill in Ypsilanti that of course has all sorts of nicknames.

i thought toyota was the only issue with hauling ass on its own?

No. A trooper pulled it out and threw it in the median of the highway. She lost her mirror out there, too.

The glass went throughout the entire vehicle. I was pulling pieces out of her hair. I'm grateful she wasn't hurt worse than she was and that my nieces weren't with her.
Thats also an illegal A-pillar modification. NASCAR is going to fine her, and suspend her crew chief.

Box of Nesquik cereal says it's not just the turbo blown...

Modifying an a-pillar will make your car drive in a circle faster...
This was her view of the board right after it snapped.
