A picture-taking FrontBurnervian passes along yet another piece of photo evidence for something that should be obvious to anyone who has not watched an episode of Dukes of Hazzard: You shouldn’t try to outrun the train. There’s another photo after the jump.

  3. I almost got clipped by the trolley turning from McKinney onto Blackburn the other day. This big city just isn’t safe anymore.

    I think he’s still in traction.

  5. Judging from the angle of that last pic, when did Matthew Shelley start taking photos of car accidents?

  6. Looks like my landlord’s car. And if that is indeed the case, then it’s hopefully a bit of karmic kickback for all the code violations in my building. Bastard.

  7. This car appears to be a Pontiac, but alas, it’s not the Pontiac of Justice.

  8. It’s a Pontiac Solstice, hardly an expensive car, they start at $22k. Personally I think they are hideous and cheap looking.

  9. It is indeed a Pontiac. But as you may remember, the Pontiac of Justice was a four door sedan not a two door convertible sports coupe. This looks to be simply a basic model Pontiac Solstice of Poor Spacial Judgment.

  10. @ John M

    I owe you a coke. Perhaps two for being able to call out a cheap trashy American sports car too.

  11. Hopefully they can salvage the Liquorice Dome attached to the roof. Party on!

  12. Speaking of the Pontiac of Justice, did Gatlin ever get charged? I can’t find his case listed on the Collin County Criminal Court website.

  13. As I rule, I don’t drive on or close to the trolley tracks in Uptown. I’ve seen too many crumpled fenders.
