They're called speed holes. They make the car go faster.

Is it just me or is the guy by the Texaco sign a black guy?

In high school, all the local small town high schoolers would go to Greenville to drag Wesley Street. You could meet girls, and the Greenville girls were generally good looking.

One of the best looking girls I've ever seen was a Senior in Greenville when I was a Sophomore at a school in a nearby small town. This isn't some "I scored" story - I had no shot especially since the only time I could talk to her was when she went to buy Church's Chicken (where I worked). She'd always wear Daisy Duke's and lived nearby on Park Street in a really nice house. She was clearly out of my league.

She ended up marrying some "old man from New Orleans" the summer after high school I had a picture of her living in some decrepit giant mansion. Looking back, the guy was probably in his 20's.

When you are Sophomore wearing a Church's Chicken uniform, you aren't scoring the hottest girl in the Senior class. She was very nice. She had fantastic legs, never wore makeup and never needed any. She was our "fantasy" girl. The older boys were all pissed that someone from NOLA ended up with her.

ETA: New Orleans was a mysterious place to small town NE Texas h.s. boys.

Well, no shite. The OP link is to the Fort Worth newspaper, where I presume the majority of their readership lives

Apparently, the two bounty hunters initially identified themselves as "federal agents." It doesn't surprise me -- bounty hunters tend to play it fast and loose when they identify their role.

The dealership's owner, Rick Ford, said two of the men had waited several hours for the third to arrive. Ford said the men initially had presented themselves as federal agents. They turned out to be bounty hunters who were trying to arrest a person who was coming to the dealership with a customer,

It was like a movie Wild West shootout where everyone dies.

There were customers, employees and kids around too.

Very lucky no one else got hurt.

Lone Oak is a speed trap. I drive through, but never stop there.

I won't be surprised if it ends up one of the bounty hunters shot his partner as well as the guy they were trying to capture.

Those bounty hunters handled that poorly.

Why would you go arrest the guy in the middle of showroom full of people, including children? It sucks they died, but they handled that poorly. Misidentifying yourself as federal agents? Come on now.
