Great. And I thought no one would be stupid enough to try and "pimp" the Avalon like people do with the 300.

I've seen some rust-bucket neons and a few escorts that way. I completely lack understaning for why people do that, it only draws more attention to the less shiny parts of the car, like rust, in my opinion.

Also a charbroiled Dodge Ram, the whole front was burnt to a crisp, the only spot left that looked okay was the tailgate and rear right fender."

Interesting... Do you know why the Dodge burnt?

Would that be covered in the newspaper?

Well, I consider our newspaper pretty pathetic most of the time (though they do keep me up to date on large business expansion and major construction projects in the area, which are interesting) but they normally don't cover minor wrecks (ones that draw a lot of attention because they block off highways are a different matter) or vehicles catching on fire. You might have luck if you check under the police reports section of your newspaper, that's normally where you find the minor stuff.

I can't.

I saw an M3 and a Plymouth Prowler.

Oh, I forgot to mention my car spotting of the week. I saw several nice cars, but my favorite was the A8L that the man I was meeting with for the day drove. (He was the VP of Rolls Royce North America (you know, jet engines and such) so I'm sure he could afford it. Nice guy, though. )
