Default Crash!

So driving down my road today and come to this hair pin turn that i like to take fast daily. And what is on the road? a bunch of leaves that made my rear end slide out and whack a big rock on the side of the road. Not too much damage just rear bumper a lil bit and rear rim. I needed a few things fixed anyway lol But be very careful of the leaves on the ground already

One more reason that fall leaves suck.

1) leaf peepers
2) Raking
3) Gutter clogging
4) out of control cars

I don't mind raking anymore, since my 16 year old does it now.

Sorry about the crash. That brings back memories.

When we were teenagers living at home, we'd ask Dad if we could have the car (1963 Chevy Impala V8). A lot of the time, he said yes. Other times it would be "yes" but only if it's not.....

The only ifs included snow storms and wet leaves on the road. Dad was a cautious guy. I can't see piles of leaves on the road, especially if they are wet without thinking of him.

Gravel, wet leaves, can get you in a world of sheit....

Why does everyone complaining about raking? Dont you guys have bagging mowers? Just throw the bag on the mower run over em voila there gone! Just gotta empty the bag a few times. i have a honda muclching bbagging mower works perfect.If I remember right Bass has the same model maybe he will chime in.

as far as the crash on wet leaves, No comment other than if you drive in NE you should know that wet leaves= snow.

I have a Snapper rear engine riding mower with a bagging attachment. The only problem is... the engine for it is sitting on my workbench in a zillion pieces. Looks like the exhaust valve isn't sealing. I'm hoping to have it fixed it time for leaf cleaning duties.
