Coldest week in AZ memory also. We hit 70 yesterday after nearly a week with highs in the 40s (and one day in the 30s) -- and lows well below 25.

The last time the Phoenix area had more than 2 nights in a row below freezing was 1988. We had 5 nights in a row last week...

I'm not talking about the suspect lighting, shadows, or extra pixelation. No. It's clear these are not real because you captured two Toyota products in one picture and neither one has a stick-figure family on the back window.

LOL


(And just to explain why they are so crappy, the pics have been taken with the iPhone at full zoom from a second story window.)

The thing that makes this picture is the fact that you can see one of the park distance sensors RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of the part that's crumpled.Click image for larger version

Camry variant in two lanes, blocking the crosswalk, sticking out into the intersection, and unaware that you can turn left on red.

You're allowed to go left on red in TX, if on to a one-way? That's cool.

I thought one-way to one-way, one could turn left on red in most places. I believe you can here. I mean, why wouldn't you? It's the same thing.
