Okay, so it sounds like that bike accident wasn't an accident - the guy should be charged with attempted (?) murder. That being said, I have a hard time believing that a 97 Kia Sportage can go 40 mph in REVERSE.

@ Reymont: Clearly attempted murder on those facts.

At this point, they've charged him with assault in the first. Check tomorrow's Mercury for an update.

40 in reverse? I dont think so...

So is it wrong to stand naked on the beach with a boner? Btw, there is a fair camel toe shot of spice girl in that photo collection.
