Fun day yesterday.

Dude in a Porsche decided to try to give us a drive thru.

Why do so many people drive cars through buildings that I occupy? This is like the fourth time.






Luckily, though people were hurt, it seems that no one was hurt permanently and no one died. So freaking crazy.

On the bright side, my wall armor stopped a freaking SUV so I guess there's that.

Someone drove a Porsche through a clothing store, barber shop, nail place and then into your shop? How fast were they going to pull that particular stunt off?

Last we heard, kiddo was stable last night. That was the scariest part because he was dragged out of the barbershop and into the massage place. He was under the car

Much appreciated.

Luckily, we had the least damage, though if I didn't have the armor up, the car would have likely taken me out. I was up there today getting the walls mostly fixed. Structurally, were back to normal within 24 hours which was amazing.

The kiddo and the other two that got hit are the ones that really need the prayers. I know everyone is stable but not sure about recovery on them

Yikes.

Can't believe someone tried to drive after dialysis. Probably passed out at the wheel.

The kprc article says north Houston. Is that just typical journalism these days, or did you move the shop?

Vehicles are always trying to hit me while driving.

I've been rear ended so many times and my wife always blamed my driving style until 2 years ago, were stopped at a light at 9pm. Hardly anyone on the road and this guy just drives right into me. Then hauled ass off.

This past weekend we were in the R turn lane, (2 R lanes can turn) and in the lane to my left this brodozer decides he needs to be in my lane. Mind you, were at a red light and both 1st in our lanes. I had to turn right into the dirt to avoid getting my front end taken off.

I look at her and say "All! The! Time!"

We followed this dbag and realize he's just a terrible driver and almost hit other vehicles, was probably drunk.

So to answer your question, who knows. I have dash cams because this happens so frequently.

Love doing business with Eyeguy.

That said, think I'll pass on being his neighbor...

Glad nobody died, news reporting it as a medical complication from dialyzis treatment. Hope the kid has no lasting damage and the shops are back up and running in no time.

I would seriously consider moving to another location with the bad luck you've had in that spot.
