I am prefacing the following statement as being prejudiced, but I blame Houston and DFW drivers along with a healthy dosage of SoCal drivers as to the worst of it.

Any of you guys with SWP cars get those yellow stains on them from the trees or bird poop? Can't figure out how to get 'em off. I'm opticoated so don't want to mess that up either. Soap and water isn't working

The TXIC - SA Thursday Night Meet was at Willie's on 1604 and NW Military last nite...my white BRZ Ltd was there! Also had a black BRZ and 2 WRBs.

Hey, I just glimpsed the tail end of a story on KABB Fox 29 a few minutes ago and a red FRS was in an accident and caught fire. Hope passengers are OK. I didn't hear all the details but, appeared to be a single car accident. Be careful out there folks!

Update: 410 and Potranco, driver flown to University Hosp., female passenger also injured. Single vehicle accident.

I saw a part of that story this morning on KSAT, as I was getting ready for work. I don't know if I heard it correct, but I coulda' swron they said that the car was going above 100mph when it crashed and a bottle was thrown from the car before it crashed.

From the KSAT website:

Suspected drunken driver injured after high-speed crash

Driver seen throwing whiskey bottle out of car, speeding at 100 mph

SAN ANTONIO - A suspected drunken driver was hospitalized in critical condition after he lost control and rolled his car late Thursday night.
The crash happened just before 10 p.m. along Loop 1604 near Potranco Road.
According to San Antonio police, the man was speeding when he clipped two vehicles, lost control and flipped his car.
The car finally came to a stop after it crashed into a tree. Witnesses tell police the driver exceeded speeds of 100 miles per hour.
Deputies who were also on the scene say they saw the driver throw out what appeared to be a whiskey bottle.
The driver was airlifted to a nearby hospital in critical condition. His passenger was taken to a hospital by ambulance. Charges against the driver were unknown early Friday morning.

Wow, I'm glad no one else was hurt. I hope it is not anyone on this forum. Please people, do not drink and drive. Get a cab. A cab ride and repairing some door dings is far cheaper than a dwi, and that is completely discounting the potential loss of life or permanent injury.
