Stay safe :hug:
   

From the picture it looks like a fairly nice car, shouldn't you want us to take the car from him?

Maybe it was a liberal protesting the GOP.  Truth to power!

Yeah, that windshield is pretty busted.

Looks like a Scion xB - re-imaged, overpriced Toyota sold to hipsters who think they live in Japan. At least it isn't one of the limited editions which come in ridiculously loud colors and often are equipped with even more ridiculous audio systems.

They have to go be one of ugliest cars ever created.  I've always wondered what kind of idiot would buy one and now I know.

19. In Greece they throw bricks through bank windows and the windows of parliament, in the usa people throw them at other folks trying to go to work.

I guess that makes brick throwing okay.  It's not like there are people in those banks and parliament buildings.

That's one of those little square go-karts. What was the DUmmy thinking, driving that little POS on an interstate highway.
It has actually come to pass:
Quote
Then one day on the interstate
They suddenly lose control
They swerve to miss a baby duck
They're squashed beneath a produce truck

But they drove with pride...

And as the crowds drive past a little flat car
You know they saved a lot of gas
But they didnt get far

If the Scion xB didn't exist, they would all be driving PT Cruisers.  Cat-people and DUmmies seem to gravitate toward smug-looking repellent little cars.

Good news, the Volvo 240 is slowly disappearing off the face of the Earth.  I owned one for a short period and hated it so much I sold it for scrap.

The previous model, the 160, is not a bad-looking little car.

Were there any bushes on the overpass? If so someone may have jumped out them and made the toss.

Id be more inclined to think they would all pile into a Honda Fit - or a Smartcar. The desk I'm sitting behind now is bigger than a Smartcar. Honestly, who the hell other than a total self-absorbed enviroweenie moonbat would drive down a highway in a car small enough for you and one other person to flip onto its roof in about 90 seconds ?

The Fit is not as small as you'd think and about twice the size of a Smart Car.  My co-worker has one and it's very roomy and spacious, enough to fit half a dozen computers and monitors in.

He bought his with a 5-speed so I'll give him some credit for that even if there is still dog hair left on the extra chair in my office.

First that was no brick. Maybe a 1-11/2 inch diameter rock. No damage other than the window and even then not through the window? No way. Glad to hear the DUmmy didn't freak and crash. However, a brick from 20 feet and a car at 65MPH is a shit load of kinetic energy/momentum and would have caused enough damage to plow right through the front window and through the rear taking everything with it.

There were some kids up in Minneapolis area doing the same thing years back. One driver was seriously injured or killed, I forget which now. Of course, Minneapolis is one of the areas that helped vote in Keith Ellison & Stuart Smalley....

You think that's hideous?  Have you seen the Nissan Juke?  It would have been appropriate to name it the Puke.  There were a lot of designers high on something when they created that hot mess.

If I had to choose between a SmartCar and a Leaf or a Volt, and didn't just shoot myself first, I'd probably take the SmartCar. At least it runs on gas. The other thing it does is totally eliminate minor fender benders. With a SmartCar, every collision, no matter how small, will be a life-threatening wreck.
