Didn't manage to get pics of any of these gems because I was driving when I saw them, but...
1) Yesterday's commute home (which was foggy, cold and rainy) saw a slammed, "stanced" IS300 with a carbon fiber hood off the side of an exit ramp with a gradual curve. Based on the debris on the road it looks like he went off on the *inside* of the ramp, caught the curb, spun across the ramp and completed the 360 just in time to center-punched a tree on the outside of the ramp. Dude was out of the car talking to a cop so it appeared he was OK. 2) Camry-on-Camry violence yesterday coming back from dinner in Rockville. On a straight stretch of MD-97 (two lane winding road) a Lexus ES rear-ended a Lexus RX. Best guess is the RX braked for a deer and the ES driver wasn't paying attention. |

I have seen two incidents I wish I had pictures of in the last two days as well. Both single-car accidents.
Yesterday on the ICC with a lot of emergency response equipment in attendance, we had a Lexus ES on the wrong side of the guardrail, upside down. And today, coming in to the office park here in Columbia was a Camry that managed to get over the curb and 50 ft in to the grass facing the wrong way. In both cases the cars were off the outside of a modest curve. |

With the onset of winter in New England, it isn't Camry's littering the roadside wrecks list - it's the ubiquitous SUV, of all sizes and makes, driven by impatient drivers on all season tires, who've no doubt been sold a bill of goods that with AWD, you can go "anywhere, anytime fast - in all kinds of weather."

Around here we get the single-car SUV accidents starting with the first dusting of snow. And we get a lot of them.

Funny... Marc Maron has the typical Camry outlook. Couldn't be more on the nose. Starting at 6:48 in the podcast above: Quote:
