Al isn't online so I'll tell it for him:

One night northbound on the 101 he was passed by a Yugo going as fast as
it could, in the gravel shoulder.

Just a bit down the road, and in plain sight of everyone it decides to
flip end for end, gee- how'd THAT happen?

Four occupants avoid getting run over by the oncoming traffic but since
they were ballistic when they exited the auto all Al and the rest of the
1st on scene could do was watch them twitch and die.

Yugo, pedal to the floor, no seatbelts, gravel shoulder. Too many items.
