Sorry, you win the fool contest. Time to grow up, take responsibility for
your own actions, and face the fact that you are a menace behind the wheel,
and the world is safer with you in recovery.

Yes, I can admit to when I'm wrong or wreckless as I already have. If this
would have happened while I was being reckless I probably would not even be
in the group discussing what happened. I'm sure I contributed to my flip in
more ways than none. But Rob from Progressive Insurance seems to disagree
and gave me the following news this morning just gave. Turns out that some
line to the transmission burst, broke, or what ever, it started spraying
fluid all over under my car creating my own personal fluid slick that of
course traveled with me. The kid at Progressive also said that it was the
reason that every time I tried to correct the car it behaved as if I was
over correcting. In the end I'm told that a crack up would have occured at
practicaly any highway speed. And finally I'm told that I was lucky that I
was "not" speeding because this type of accident usually ends with either a
cripple or a fatality. I still believe though that if I knew how I could
have brought the vehicle back under control... But the Progressive guy that
dismanteled the Liberty said even a pro like Mr. Matt Macchiarolo would have
cracked up. I guess all that fluid I thought was gasoline was actually
tranny fluid.
Hey Matt I recognize that fine family name of yours, it's a shame you stain
it by speaking the way you do to strangers. The Macchiarolos that I know and
have met would not be caught dead mistreating, disrespecting, or insulting
total strangers, it's a shame. Please don't tell me the Macchiarolos that I
know are not related to you, because like my family name belongs to only my
family. I know this to be true of the Macchiarolo family name and even
though you might not know it, but when ever you run into another Macchiarolo
and dig deep enough you will dicover that person is related to you.
Anyway there you go: when you "***" "u" "me" (assume) you make an "***" out
of "you" and "me".
Be well JEEPsters and thanks for "all" the feed back. Even yours Matt.

would have happened while I was being reckless I probably would not even be
in the group discussing what happened. I'm sure I contributed to my flip in
more ways than none. But Rob from Progressive Insurance seems to disagree
and gave me the following news this morning just gave. Turns out that some
line to the transmission burst, broke, or what ever, it started spraying
fluid all over under my car creating my own personal fluid slick that of
course traveled with me. The kid at Progressive also said that it was the
reason that every time I tried to correct the car it behaved as if I was
over correcting. In the end I'm told that a crack up would have occured at
practicaly any highway speed. And finally I'm told that I was lucky that I
was "not" speeding because this type of accident usually ends with either a
cripple or a fatality. I still believe though that if I knew how I could
have brought the vehicle back under control... But the Progressive guy that
dismanteled the Liberty said even a pro like Mr. Matt Macchiarolo would have
cracked up. I guess all that fluid I thought was gasoline was actually
tranny fluid.
Hey Matt I recognize that fine family name of yours, it's a shame you stain
it by speaking the way you do to strangers. The Macchiarolos that I know and
have met would not be caught dead mistreating, disrespecting, or insulting
total strangers, it's a shame. Please don't tell me the Macchiarolos that I
know are not related to you, because like my family name belongs to only my
family. I know this to be true of the Macchiarolo family name and even
though you might not know it, but when ever you run into another Macchiarolo
and dig deep enough you will dicover that person is related to you.
Anyway there you go: when you "***" "u" "me" (assume) you make an "***" out
of "you" and "me".
Be well JEEPsters and thanks for "all" the feed back. Even yours Matt.

Yes, I can admit to when I'm wrong or wreckless as I already have. If this

in the group discussing what happened. I'm sure I contributed to my flip in
more ways than none. But Rob from Progressive Insurance seems to disagree
and gave me the following news this morning just gave. Turns out that some

was "not" speeding because this type of accident usually ends with either a

would have happened while I was being reckless I probably would not even be
in the group discussing what happened. I'm sure I contributed to my flip in
more ways than none. But Rob from Progressive Insurance seems to disagree
and gave me the following news this morning just gave. Turns out that some
line to the transmission burst, broke, or what ever, it started spraying
fluid all over under my car creating my own personal fluid slick that of
course traveled with me. The kid at Progressive also said that it was the
reason that every time I tried to correct the car it behaved as if I was
over correcting. In the end I'm told that a crack up would have occured at
practicaly any highway speed. And finally I'm told that I was lucky that I
was "not" speeding because this type of accident usually ends with either a
cripple or a fatality. I still believe though that if I knew how I could
have brought the vehicle back under control... But the Progressive guy that
dismanteled the Liberty said even a pro like Mr. Matt Macchiarolo would have
cracked up. I guess all that fluid I thought was gasoline was actually
tranny fluid.
Hey Matt I recognize that fine family name of yours, it's a shame you stain
it by speaking the way you do to strangers. The Macchiarolos that I know and
have met would not be caught dead mistreating, disrespecting, or insulting
total strangers, it's a shame. Please don't tell me the Macchiarolos that I
know are not related to you, because like my family name belongs to only my
family. I know this to be true of the Macchiarolo family name and even
though you might not know it, but when ever you run into another Macchiarolo
and dig deep enough you will dicover that person is related to you.
Anyway there you go: when you "***" "u" "me" (assume) you make an "***" out
of "you" and "me".
Be well JEEPsters and thanks for "all" the feed back. Even yours Matt.

would have happened while I was being reckless I probably would not even be
in the group discussing what happened. I'm sure I contributed to my flip in
more ways than none. But Rob from Progressive Insurance seems to disagree
and gave me the following news this morning just gave. Turns out that some
line to the transmission burst, broke, or what ever, it started spraying
fluid all over under my car creating my own personal fluid slick that of
course traveled with me. The kid at Progressive also said that it was the
reason that every time I tried to correct the car it behaved as if I was
over correcting. In the end I'm told that a crack up would have occured at
practicaly any highway speed. And finally I'm told that I was lucky that I
was "not" speeding because this type of accident usually ends with either a
cripple or a fatality. I still believe though that if I knew how I could
have brought the vehicle back under control... But the Progressive guy that
dismanteled the Liberty said even a pro like Mr. Matt Macchiarolo would have
cracked up. I guess all that fluid I thought was gasoline was actually
tranny fluid.
Hey Matt I recognize that fine family name of yours, it's a shame you stain
it by speaking the way you do to strangers. The Macchiarolos that I know and
have met would not be caught dead mistreating, disrespecting, or insulting
total strangers, it's a shame. Please don't tell me the Macchiarolos that I
know are not related to you, because like my family name belongs to only my
family. I know this to be true of the Macchiarolo family name and even
though you might not know it, but when ever you run into another Macchiarolo
and dig deep enough you will dicover that person is related to you.
Anyway there you go: when you "***" "u" "me" (assume) you make an "***" out
of "you" and "me".
Be well JEEPsters and thanks for "all" the feed back. Even yours Matt.
