The Duke Boys Ride Again!....Almost

"E-51 respond to a report of a traffic accident at Oak and Mercator. PD also en route."

We jumped on the rig and headed to the residential neighborhood intersection we'd been given. We expected to see a minor accident between a couple of suburban commuters coming home from work. But what we found in the middle of the street at the end of a long set of skid marks was.........
The General Lee.


Yep. A perfect recreation of the famed General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard. Apparently this guy had spent the last 3 years restoring it and a half hour ago finished rebuilding the transmission. So, he and his buddy decide to take it for a test run. Somewhere in this test run he and his buddy (in a separate car) wound up colliding. And 5 minutes into owning a bad-ass replica piece of television nostalgia it looked a little closer to this:
Well folks, that's how it is sometimes in Hazzard County, when even the best of intentions and the purest deeds don't always turn out the way you planned 'em to. Life is funny that way. Isn't it?
