A DML'er in a Gen III was hit head on on the freeway a few
years back by a couple of bank robbers...running from the
law on the wrong side of the freeway. They were doing 90+??
mph when they hit his dakota. Both of the bank robbers were
killed and our lucky DML'er walked away with a bad knee and
a banged up elbow. I believe they were driving a car for the
gettaway. Anyone remember this one? Moral of the story.....

If your gonna rob a bank, don't drive a POS gettaway car. ;)

GS -

P.S. Wonder if the DML'er is still around? The pics were unreal!
