Jaguar and Woodshed Damaged by Hit and Run Driver
On Friday night about 10:30, a driver struggled to get out of a dead end on Stephanie Court off 18th Street in Eureka. According to resident James Moore, “Someone in a white dodge ram 4×4 did a hit…and run at the dead [end] at my house…He backed into my woodshed and jaguar about 5 times before he sped off.”
Moore said he thinks the vehicle was possible a 1998 Ram 2500. “I got a good look at the truck and driver,” he wrote us. “[It was] white in color with a matching camper shell. I also have pieces of his tail light.”
He thinks he might not have been the only victim of the out of control driver. “It sounded like he hit cars on 18th st as he left,” he explained.
If you have any information on the hit and run, please contact the Eureka Police Department at (707) 441-4060.

I was afraid this was about somebody hitting a mountain lion. Glad it was only a car! Still- hope they catch the idiot who did this. Then they can release him with a warning!
Appreciate your concerns for the 4-legged creatures! Guess you would have had the same reaction if the car involved was a…… Cougar! Mustang! Fox! Or a Panda!
But would you have had the same feeling if it had hit a Beetle? Stingray? Spider? Or Raptor??? 😉
Typical Eureka pickup truck driver. In those fuel-guzzling monsters of earth destruction these boneheads think they are kings of the road. They are pinheads swilling Great White. Grow dozers are the worst hazard in Humboldt (after all the drug/weed-related homicides, home invasions and robberies). Of course without the “gangster culture” there would be very few pickups. The fake environmentalists (who all drive) would be shamed into old VW bugs converted to cooking oil. Lemmings in longcabs racing off to the drive through at KFC.
By the way, how long is the wait in that drive through?
KFC = Krappy F’in Chicken!!!
Yeah, that’s why there are 40 cars in line all day, every day.
It’s because of the fortnightly cravings.
There’s no accounting for some people’s tastes!!!
No doubt. Chicken is probably the easiest protein to cook. Roasted in the oven or fried
KOFC : Krappy Overpriced F’n’ Chicken. I’ve eaten that krap 3 maybe 4 times in 50+ years and it sucked everytime. 🤢
Not everyone driving a big pickup is grow-dozer. Some folks need them for work, to carry loads, or for the clearance to get into some rough country. But you’re right in that there are far too many people driving trucks who never use them as such and that is an environmental waste.
I have a big truck at the moment because I need to haul a ~ 3000lb load around but I compromise by not driving much at all when I don’t need to. I have been patiently waiting for new technology to replace the gas and diesel fuel hogs in these things but they haven’t yet made it to the truck market yet. In particular, I’ve been expecting hydrogen fuel-cells for about 15 years now that never seem to get anywhere despite it being the best long range solution.
So you haul 3000lbs over rough terrain every single drive? Yeah. Thought not.
Need is not the right word here.
A hydrogen fuel cell is just a battery, an extremely expensive one especially for the short lifespan and extremely toxic to make.
From what I can gather, hydrogen fuel cells are a fair bit different than a battery, namely that they don’t run out of charge as long as there is hydrogen and oxygen supplied. So longer range and quicker refueling are 2 big benefits. It’s why they are pushing it in some big rigs because they have predictable re-fueling locations along the Interstates.
The only really expensive part is platinum in the catalyst. And building up the infrastructure to refuel of course. It doesn’t need tons of lithium or other rare earth metals for the batteries. The main reason the cars are still so expensive is scale of production — and there’s the Catch-22. You need to sell a lot more to bring production costs down but no one is buying them until the refueling infrastructure is in place and no one wants to build refueling infrastructure unless there’s a lot of demand from car buyers.
The upside is the torque band of the electric motors is great for heavier loads. Oh and no air pollution, just water vapor is emitted.
Fuel cells have a number of drawbacks. They’re expensive, as has already been said. They have short lifespans, as has also already been said. They’re really heavy. They don’t put out much power – most designs using them have to supplement them with ultracapacitors or small batteries. They’re inefficient – a lot of your energy comes out as heat instead of electricity. Electrolysis is also inefficient, to generate the hydrogen. Hydrogen is difficult and expensive to store in vehicle-moving quantities. And thus they’ve been just around the corner for many decades now…

the druid need to increase his fiber intake
Mmm….
That is a very tasty, multilayered comment that makes me want to take another bite. It’s almost like it’s coated in herbs and spices…am I picking up a hint of sarcasm? Maybe that’s just cinnamon. 😆
Spot on storm.
The driver of the pickup, should be horse whipped for the damage, done to the Jag, alone not to mention the fence & other assorted things he mowed down!!!
Think Volvo already has an electric tractor pulling 40 footers.
Not on the road. Let’s see casual video from the I-5.
Jaguar and Woodshed closed down their shop.
They didn’t want to it was all they had got.
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,
And pressed rats collection of dog legs and feet.
The humor in this thread has been fun!
A+
🕯🌳Them damn Hazard boys never meaning no harm my ass. 🖖🖖
Dude was just a patriot! Screw those British jerks! Whooooo ‘MERICAAAAAA!!!!
I find the comments here about big trucks comical, since 2012 the CAFE standards on Diesel engines has been such that the exhaust is cleaner than the air coming into the air filter . And even if they have been modified remember that 65percent of a barrel of oil is not even used for fuel, it is used for medicines , fertilizers, modern medicinal devices etc.
once had a guy come to me with a 06 dodge he pulled horse trailers with his truck, was only getting 16 miles a gallon. So I deleted the EGR threw a chip on it and a larger turbo by god he came back happy as a virgin boy in a whore house because he was getting well over 28 mpg pulling a fully loaded 6 horse trailer over passes. So while I am a firm believer that we should all do our part to use wisely the resources that we have I can not understand the logic behind reducing fuel mileage by so much to have a bit cleaner tail pipes . Once a person accounts for the resources it takes to produce and transport each gallon of fuel wouldn’t merely using less be just as good if not better than burning more ? Trust me I have searched for the numbers or even research that could explain how or show the off set numbers and haven’t been able to find them, makes person wonder who decides this crap.
Antichrist just admitted to tampering with emissions controls ( federal offense).
No sorry not a federal offense and since it wasn’t even in California not a state crime either. And since I held a state emission cert i was able to exempt vehicles as long as I turned in the required paperwork
It is a federal crime. Individual states also may have their own additional laws on the matter (many do), but it is illegal anywhere in the USA per federal law.
Who knew that in addition to signalling the apocalypse, the antichrist also performs EGR deletes? Wanna do one on my ranger? How many mpg do you think you can get me?
I’m calling 100% bs on a Dodge diesel getting 28mpg pulling a fully loaded 6 horse trailer. I dont care if you are going across Nebraska with a tail wind, you’re not averaging 28 mpg with a 32 foot long, 14,000+ lb, 9′ tall tailer. I know this because I used to tow with a 2007 dodge with a straight pipe, egr delete and a tuner. I also drove like a grandma because the better mileage I got, the more money in my pocket. The only time I saw above 20 mpg was with no trailer and it was still a long ways from 28. And you are claiming “well over 28 mpg”.
