    Man, why don't we get any midsize station wagons anymore? It's a lot easier to park in a church and climb out the rear hatch when you have a rear hatch.

    The only way this could have happened was by direct intercession of the Hand of God (TM).


    "Scuse me while I kiss the sky."


    And, not to nitpick, but that's not 'on to' the roof, it's 'into'.

    If it turns out the man was drunk, he'll likely face a prison sentence

    So I hate to be a buzz kill, but isn't this just reckless (possibly drunk) driving? I thought that hoonage was defined as a responsible celebration of motoring, not just destroying your car in a spectacular way.


    Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now.

    @vulber: Note the article says that there's no confirmation that the man actually was drunk. As such, it's a celebration of a "betcha couldn't do that again even if you tried" type of scenario.

    I love how news crews fail to show the path of an accident like this. The first thing anyone asks when they see that picture is "how????", and it inevitably never gets answered (at least in picture/video form). I want to see the road, and the hill, and the gap between said hill and church damnit.

    I suppose, to extend the analogy, that would make SEAT...
