    Today in the Northwest. And yes it's a beige Camry

    Unfortunately I have no pics, but in the mid nineties my 87 Buick Somerset was impaled by a flying parking meter. I still have the meter flags.

    That Camry is insane!

    My car was parked when hit by the meter. A drunk driver left the roadway (at a high rate of speed) and hit the meter.......it proceeded to fly 75-100 feet through the air and hit my car. If it had happened 45 seconds earlier it would have nailed my friend who had previously been leaning against my car in the same spot!

    The meter was full but they didnt let me keep it.the bastards! It would have helped pay for he repairs

    What the...? Your friend is one lucky so and so. Wow. High flying parking meter. Sounds lethal.

    Another pic of the camry. Washington State Patrol sez, the guardrail actually saved the dude's life by preventing him (northbound) from crossing any further over and a certain head on with heavy southbound traffic.

    You're saying this guy lived! Holy crap, looking at those pics I would have though that the guardrail would have cut him in two.

    Hmmm... Would I stop or keep running if I were him? I just can't figure it out.

    1. Stop, the car might get bounced off into you...
    2. Keep running and you better outrun a friggin' bus...

    Lord.

    You'd think they could at least keep from running into each other.





    SEATTLE -- Two Seattle police officers received minor injuries when they crashed into each other on their way to help a state patrol trooper in distress.

    A trooper spotted a man walking on the eastbound lanes of SR-520 near Montlake just after noon on Sunday, said patrol spokesperson Julie Startup.

    The trooper approached the man to escort him off the freeway, but the man became combative, Startup said.

    The trooper called for assistance, and several Seattle police officers raced to the scene to help out.

    But while en route, two patrol cars collided at the intersection of 12th Ave. E. and East John Street on Capitol Hill, said Jeff Kappel with Seattle Police.

    I have no pics either but years ago ,racing my roomate home ,late at night ,sober,
    my roomie was ahead with the last turn coming up and our house was the second house after the turn. I actually tried to pass my roomie ,going 60 mph around the corner ,on the outside , and still have time to stop the car within 25 feet ,and park.
    Well , i did pass him ......upside down..... And landed right side up , 3 feet from the front door. The car was flattened down to the doors. I was without a scratch.
    My roomie and i pushed the car into the driveway ,put a tarp over it ,replaced the niehbors crushed garbage cans and mailbox ,with ours,,, and went inside and
    proceeded to get drunk. It was 1:30 am and nobody called the popo .
