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...

Well, it's between her and Bubba in the camo hat as to who owns it, and quite frankly, he doesn't look like the type of person to drive a Toyota.

Not in the Sonoma Valley... usually you need to be on high alert and looking out for them by noon.

Considering the number of wineries on this road, if it's after 12:00 noon, it's high season for tipsy or drunk drivers...

This was spotted ~4:30 or so.

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

...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 was just quoting one of their commercials...

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
