The Web Has Everything -- SUV Edition
So I'm reading this on Metafilter, and I go googling for quotes.
Okay. Mission accomplished. I was hoping for more, but of Google's 146 hits, there were only a half-dozen different bits of news copy, and most of them were in compressed and quote-less News Of The Weird format.
But then, what happens? Fellow MeFite chaz finds this:
The Women in SUVs blog. Weird, weird, weird.
Of course, they missed this one: SUV washed into ocean. But then, Women In SUVs might have caught it and declined to post it because they couldn't verify that any women were involved -- having paged through all five (five? How paltry, Google News!) linked articles, I couldn't find any reference to gender.
People. Occupants. Teens. And there was, apparently, drinking, but no one, thankfully, was hurt. I'm presuming that's because no golf balls were involved.

- "If the kids were throwing rocks at her, she probably felt like anybody else would," Newell said. "She would never hurt anything."
