    The skid marks match up with the front and rear passenger wheels. One mark was put down before the other. #roadsigns

    Inexplicable skid marks are the most concerning. You usually want to have some idea or recollection of how they got there.

    Dammit. I told them to stop giving the cars ethanol.

    Cars and alcohol in any form just don't mix well.
