Mercedes Benz E -Class vs. Lexus RX in Front of San Francisco City Hall, January 22, 2012

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

I don’t know, somebody screwed up real bad yesterday AM at the intersection of Polk and McAllister right in front of City Hall.

Couldn’t tell if it was the fault of the driver of this aging Mercedes Benz E320 or the driver of the Lexus RX300 jelly belly car that wound up far away in the crosswalk.

Alls I know is that both people were well protected by airbags (despite the age of both vehicles). The penalty for stupid driving is less than it used to be, back in the long ago, that’s for sure.

An Everyday Vehicular Pas de Deux in San Francisco’s Corona Heights

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

When the 37 Corbett MUNI bus cruises through Corona Heights, everybody else needs to get out of the way. If not, you end up in this kind of minor traffic jam, a slow-motion vehicular pas de deux with a communal effort to head off/mitigate the incipient collision.

How can you tell this scene is from 2009?

The WhyIslam? bus ad;

The ubiquitous (#1 luxury vehicle in America these days) Toyota Harrier / Lexus RX “tall Camry”, crossover SUV, avec tiresome “gold pack” badges; and 

The green BioDiesel sticker on the bus

There’s your 2009 right there.

(Ir)regardless, this starfish-like intersection isn’t the problem – it’s the narrow streets combined with parallel parking, that’s the problem.

Please be patient when visiting…
