Houston, TX Transit Bus plows into BMW dealer storage lot

They said a minivan running a red light caused the bus to swerve into the lot.

I have other suspicions.

TX76513's license plate on the SDL:





He doesn't really live in Mississippi. He's a secret agent, taking out BMWs for special ops based in Montvale, NJ. This time, it was by bus. Next week, it's going to be a cement truck at a BMW dealership in Atlanta.

I tried to get that plate here in MI, but it was already taken.

Custom plates cost too much and just get your car keyed. I'll stick with a normal plate. I do have a nice euro plate on the front of my car though.

Oh I have - was looking at a 5 series at BMW of Jackson. They actually had a good chuckle over it. They liked the plate on my 325i better.

Shame, I hate those damn public transport buses. They just pull out like they own the damn street, I lost count of the number of times I have almost gotten hit by one. I wish we could get rid of the stupid things around here.

Not really related other than the bmw thing, but when I lived in Charleston, SC, a wealthy doctor plowed his BMW 850i into the Rangoni of Florence ($$$$) shoe store front on King Street, downtown. He had over an ounce of white in the center console when the cops got there

I can't count how many times I've been nearly side swiped by a city bus. As if mirrors don't exist.

But if you'd watch the video, you'd see that it wasn't the bus driver's fault this time. Someone in a van ran the light and caused it.

Sorry Hattie, but....

My friends aunt who has more money than God put her RR through the front of their country club. She spent to much time at the bar and, drove the RR right in through the front as she was trying to leave. I won't name the club but its well known. I don't think she was ever charged...
