Of course it is a Camry

This prius got a little more than a corner! http://nj1015.com/car-struck-by-nj-t...are_mobile_top

The woman who took the picture is the wife of a guy I went to school with. He was a big time band director for Jackson High School in NJ. They are the kind of high school band you see in the Rosebowl parade, Bush JR inauguration, Macy's Thanksgiving Day, Just to name a few of the places his kids (students) have played

This could go in the Florida man thread as well

Could not take a picture, but saw a Camry driving with the wipers off the windshield (like some cars parked in a snowstorm - a Northeast practice I never understood to begin with).

TLDR

Man in Florida drives his CAMRY into the Ocean and the Coast Guard rescues him before he drowns to death:

Were they running? Doing kind of that odd twist-wave like the Queen does?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who never understood the wipers-up thing.

I could see if you got a lot of freezing rain during the winter, it might make the process of scraping the windshield a little easier. Ever so slightly. Still odd, though.

I saw one yesterday with the wipers standing up proud out from underneath one of those windshield cover things.

I used to find that leaving the wipers down was best in freezing rain or ice. When clearing, pulling the wipers up would then give me a small cleared area to start scrapping under the ice.

I guess if you are too cheap to replace your worn out wipers, you might not want them to freeze onto the glass, and then rip apart when pulling the arms up

Sometimes I would put an old sheet over the windshield when I was parking at the bottom of our driveway in NJ. Just cause I didn't want to spend a lot of time clearing snow/ice after walking/sliding all the way down my long driveway. I figured the wipers helped hold down the sheet
