Not PT related, except that we all seem to enjoy Aztec bashing: I took my dog to the park today and what do I see stuck in the snowbank, but a barf green Pontiac Aztek. Getting closer, I see that he ran through a large snowbank (3ft high) and ran about 30 ft through 2ft of snow wiping out 20 feet of stone bridge pillars (about 25 of them), before being stopped by a stone post. Both air bags deployed, the left front fender wiped out. Most of the front end went 15 ft down onto a frozen creek, leaving a styrofoam bumper on the car (couldn't look worse than bumper cover). The bridge pillars knocked over the edge had broken the ice leaving a pool of open water with about a dozen dead fish, the 2ft high 6" round pillars must have hit a school of fish like a bombing attack. This guy must have been doing about 60 mph to get that far into the snowbank. He (or she) came VERY close to seeing how long an Aztec floats. No one was in the car, must have happened last night. On the seat were some AVIS rental car documents (do they really rent these things?) and someone had stuck a collision shop business card on under the wiper.
If anyone knows Buffalo, this was on the bridge near the art museum that goes over Scajacuada Creek onto the Scajacuada Expressway. Yes, the ornate old fashioned stone bridge with the carved Indian heads. I hope AVIS pays restore this!
It's bad enough we humans have look at Aztecs, but must the fish suffer too?
