Default Man hit by car and dragged for 17 miles

Hit twice actually, and took the express route from Queens to Brooklyn....and unfortunately the grave. How do you not know there is 'something' under your car for 17 miles?

I dont know, the way cars are build these days, they're like tanks.
You can drive 100km/h and hardly feel it.

Police are retracing the route the van drove in attempt to find body parts, he said.

Good lord. That is terrible.

You'd have to be oblivious to do that. I can feel it when I run over squirrels. I cant imagine running over a person.

Too bad it wasn't Fred Phelps. Then we could be happy about this.

Not sure what you drive, but I would venture to say the opposite.

They are designed with more safety features in mind, but as far as durability and strength....not so much.

Want to see a car thats built like tank, look at cars from the 50's and 60's. They needed massive engines just to get them out of the way of themselves.

If it was Fred Phelps I'd be calling him a pansy for not being able to hold on for 20.
