What do you get when...
you mix this:

and this:

Give up?
THIS is what you have:

I'm not sure if he's pissed because I took a couple dozen pics of this scene, or that he wasn't able to arrest the driver for DUI. No one was hurt, and the person in the last scene was crawling into the car to retrieve something.
The A pillars didn't survive too well in this accident, but considering that this evidently hit the barrels, spun AND flipped, it did as well as could be expected from a Toyota. If this had been a domestic car, I wouldn't have taken pictures, as I'm rather certain there would have been fatalities.

This occurred just south of the Kenwood Restaurant on Highway 12 in between Santa Rosa and Sonoma. I parked in the Kenwood Restaurant parking lot, walked across the street, and just into the vineyard, and started snapping photos. Took the long lens (70-200 w/2x teleconverter), so I wouldn't be on top of them to get the photos. The lady looks either drunk, or very "giggly"...
Not bad for a shot taken at over 100m range...

...but their cars? Maybe I'm biased by the Consumer Reports testing that was done which showed the domestic A-pillars collapsing during roll-overs. Oh wait, it was also proven with the nice little rash of Exploder SUV roll-overs on those nasty Firestone tires, right?

I'd believe that statement if you're talking about their trucks...

I'm only driving a ford because when I bought it, it was dirt cheap. I'm with ya on the lack of safety features on domestic cars... Import FTMFW
