San Francisco police are investigating an unusual crime spree after four people who live in and around Bernal Heights awakened Monday morning to find their Smart microcars had been rolled over by groups of vandals.

The kids breathed exhaust fumes and they liked it!

We bicycled in the clouds of DDT behind the fogger truck and WE LIKED IT!

Smelled good, didn’t it lol?

[Billthedrill]

What? You had DDT? We would LOVE to have had DDT! We had mustard gas piped into the school ventilation systems and it was good enough for us!

It was WEIRD hearing all those Krauts speaking Spanish.

A buncha Germans immigrated to Mexico before WWI. They taught the Mexicans how to make good beer (ever had Negra Modelo?) and Oompa music.

We would MOVE cars like VW’s when we were kids, but this was not destructive. There is probably a have-not vs haves story behind this. They would tip Acuras but they weigh too much.

As far as “safer in a crash”, only if it is the only one involved in the crash. Get hit by a 4,000 lbs vehicle going the other way at any significant speed and you’re simply dead.

That, and it was fun watching the ‘skeeters drop out of the air, and not getting bit for a few minutes!

So it’s the Germans’ fault, all that tinny wind-up Jack-In-The-Box sounding stuff that passes for Mexican pop music?

Just try it suckers!

Your school have ventilation? The only new air we ever got was when Mrs Pittard passed gas...

This dates back at least 25 years.. our highschool principle bought a geo metro. Football team picked it up and set it on top of a snow bank they had to call a craine service to get it down.

I think they got a few days off for their prank. Nowadays they would be in jail.

Loved the oBaMa sticker.

Oh hell, let’s hijack the thread. ;-)

[smokingfrog]

Didn’t get head lice either!

Yep. Listen to it! Oompa oompa oompapapa. Pure German bierhalle music.

Now that you mention it, no.

My first car I drove was a 1980 Oldsmobile ninety-eight . Power everything, moonroof and 8 track player. That thing was a boat, and I felt safe. Nothing but trucks/SUVs for me now.
