Truly Bizarre accident here....

Carter, 17, was driving his 2004 Cadillac Escalade north to Orlando at about 12:30 a.m. when a mattress came loose from the cargo bed of a delivery truck in front of him, said his spokesman, Brad Zeifman.

Carter drove over the mattress, which got stuck under the sport utility vehicle and caught fire, probably from the heat of the exhaust system. The singer pulled over and escaped the vehicle, then watched it explode in flames, Zeifman said. A friend traveling with him also escaped.


Link

My guess - his Escalade was slammed to the ground, giving it clearance of less than a stock Civic. Pimp-tastic. An Escalade at 17? That implies people buy his album. I had the majesty of the Loser Cruiser (bus) at that age....

Stupid mattress, couldn't finish the job. Oh well, I guess this just goes to show never send furniture to do a man's job.

Pubic Transit was another fave. And of course the Cheesewagon for those good old Cardinal Coach Lines "Blue Bird" buses.

Think Aaron Carter can reach the pedals in that big Escalade of his?

2 things:

1) I had no idea who 'Aaron Carter' was until i opened this thread... thanks guys for bursting my self imposed pop-culture-crap bubble!

2) The picture used in the CNN story is harsh, what kind of self respecting girl goes crazy over that geek!??!?! My god....

I'd totally forgetten this geek even existed until this thread. I'm surprised he get scared like that and jump from the car, I mean at least this would be a familiar type of situation for him. You know, all by himself on a mattress. lolololol

No, that was his older brother. Don't you know your pop icons?

You think you're invincible when you're behind the steering wheel of an SUV but you're not."

That line made me laugh. One of those valuable life lessons we all must learn at one point in our lives, especially at age 17 in an escalade. For the most part you are invincible in those death machines, for when they meet a poor family wagon it's usally the latter who suffers the most damage.

Didn't he notice he was driving on top of a mattress? Wouldn't that effect steering or performance to the point you notice you were DRIVING ON A MATTRESS. Like one time I got a safeway bag wrapped around my front axle. It took 10 second before I started to wonder what that sound was. How long would it take for a mattress to catch fire?

He was too busy talking to one of his homies on his cell phone busting out some rhymes for the new rap CD he wants to release.

I think the forgotten question here is really: How long would it take for the smoke to smart rolling IN HIS PEA-BRAIN to the point where he realized he was DRIVING ON A MATTRESS!

As per my comment on Seal yesterday, it seems we have a lot of bitter people on this board.

Why can't people just be happy for others.

Nobody says you have to like Aaron Carter, but for christs sake - if he has the money to drive an Escalade, and you dont - deal with it.

How bad of a driver does someone have to be in order to now avoid a mattress, it isn't like it is a hard to see object that someone wouldn't be able to see. It is called breaking or changing lanes you dumb backstreet boy band brother.

But I was just curious to see what crap this load of crap has crapped out of mouth, and I am laughing right now. The song names include:
- My Internet Girl
- 2 Good 2 B True
- Another Earthquake!
and last but not least a POS (or so I would assume) that would apply to this situation.
- My First Ride

I strongly suggest that you go to this website http://www.azlyrics.com/c/carter.html

The lyrics are very funny.

In the song America A O

Does that sound a little serious to you
Has Aaron Carter turned red, white and blue
I've been rollin' like this since day one
But I never bring it on in your face
I have fun. There's a time to get down
And no time to clown around
Right about now time fix the frown
Face to face and body to body
We're gonna pull through
Come on everybody

But the song which was previously mentioned about my first ride is as follows

"My First Ride"

My first ride
Wait outside
I'm steppin' inside

I don't really care
What everybody says
Guys ride with the girls away, anyway
All I wanna do is drive, okay
Can't stay, can't stay, and I can't wait
Any day, any day now
It's official
AC, I'ma place my initials
You little weasels
Now I got diesel
I can hold the stearing
Real steady, get steady
When I gotta refuel
Crank the track up
Now I'm grown up, and all sewn up
I'm comin' through
With the system blastin'
Bangin' my head
Hell raisers raisin'

Watch me
Ride 'til the tank is empty
Anywhere I wanna go
Don't tempt me
I wanna roll to the Hoop
In the Bentley
Ridin', ridin', ridin'

Catch me
Or ya gonna be
Left lonely
In the dust
Of the one and only
Can't hold me
Control me
When I'ma
Ridin', ridin', ridin
(uh uh ah ah ah ah uh ah ah ah uh)
Ridin', ridin', ridin
(uh uh ah ah ah ah uh ah ah ah uh)
Ridin', ridin', ridin

Trouble burn
Rubber burn
It's my turn
I'm here when you cross the road
Mark the turn
Feels like Formula One
But oh no
I'm getting pulled over
By the one five oh
What the deal, yo, uh
Officer tell me
What's the problemo

(You were driven way to slow)
(You gotta do 60 you were doing a 4-0)

Let me see your drivers license
And registration
I don't need one, it's Aaron's Alien Nation

I'm just Carter
Here we go, then I laugh
If you let me off I'll
Write your daughter and autograph
Then he laughed, and said 'sure'
Gimme your ticket
He said 'boy look'
Get outta here before I lose my cool
And act like a driver
(You know the rules)

Watch me
Ride 'til the tank is empty
Anywhere I wanna go
Don't tempt me
I wanna roll to the Hoop
In the Bentley
Ridin', ridin', ridin'

Catch me
Or ya gonna be
Left lonely'
In the dust
Of the one and only
Can't hold me
Control me
When I'ma
Ridin', ridin', ridin
(uh uh ah ah ah ah uh ah ah ah uh)
Ridin', ridin', ridin
(uh uh ah ah ah ah uh ah ah ah uh)
Ridin', ridin', ridin

Slow down

My first ride
I'm steppin' inside

Watch me
Ride 'til the tank is empty
Anywhere I wanna go
Don't tempt me
I wanna roll to the Hoop
In the Bentley
Ridin', ridin', ridin'

Catch me
Or ya gonna be
Left lonely'
In the dust
Of the one and only
Can't hold me
Control me
When I'ma
Ridin', ridin', ridin

Watch me
Ride 'til the tank is empty
Anywhere I wanna go
Don't tempt me
I wanna roll to the Hoop
In the Bentley
Ridin', ridin', ridin'

Catch me
Or ya gonna be
Left lonely'
In the dust
Of the one and only
Can't hold me
Control me
When I'ma
Ridin', ridin', ridin
(uh uh ah ah ah ah uh ah ah ah uh)
Ridin', ridin', ridin
(uh uh ah ah ah ah uh ah ah ah uh)
Ridin', ridin', ridin
(uh uh ah ah ah ah uh ah ah ah uh)

Yeah but when you get that money by your fame and fame alone (after MMM's lyrics I think we can rule out talent) you've got to take the bad with the good.

Bitter/Hatred is what we have for the NHLPA. This? This is just laughing at a pretend star.

"AC" will join Hanson (mmmmmmmBop!) on the heap of obscurity once the other testes finally descends and he can't hit those high notes. Or his girl fans grow up and realize how bad their tastes were.
