    So sad. Players and thoughts go out to the family and friends.

    The picture in post #24 shows a roadster being rearended.
    That's scary. How do you drive defensily for that? Drive faster? People don't may attention. What can you do?
    I have updated to LED taillights and a flashing 3rd brakelight. It still worries me.

    Hope everybody else has a safe and happy weekend and holiday.

    Give thanks to a serviceman.

    Don't think it's the OH Tub, it had a Duvall windshield, red interior etc.
    What a shame. Condolences to the family.

    I don't think he was referring to your post, but a link by another.

    Was a good thought, though. Trying to place the roadster myself. It looks familiar but the picture just isn't defined enough.

    It looks to be a '28 or '29. Very sad. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved.

    Hate to read news like this...say our prayers together. The shock and horror of the young woman with him will linger forever, a real shame.

    He was doing his favorite thing when it happened...Godspeed.
     
  26. Very sad news. Prayers to the family and friends.

    The car looks to have small (motorcycle small) front fenders.

    I've read and heard about way too many hot rods getting rearended, happened to 2 different friends of mine, both in "A" coupes, stopped @ traffic lights!.
    My under const. "A" roadster has '50 Pontiac blue dots. Think I'm gonna install LED bulbs. I also have a louvered deck lid and 7 red LED bulbs to install in the top row install as 3rd brake lights. Gonna install them to be invisible till lit up.I know it's non traditional, but I hope it gets attention from those behind me.
    People drive around talking on cell phones, or worse, texting on them. They fiddle with the stereo, eat, apply makeup, you name it, anything but pay attention to their driving.

    If ass holes would not tailgate then this shit could be prevented or at least not happen so frequently. I just got rear ended in Carol's Chevy truck on the 91 fwy , I got stopped , a witness said the girl was up my ass , she pushed me but I had stopped far enough away that I did not hit the car in front. If I was in my roadster there would have been a fatality but it would not have been me !!!!!!!!
