I was digging in the archives and found this....hadn't seen it before.

Long story short THIS IS KENT, WA. IN A NUTSHELL. I grew up in Enumclaw, which is a rival of Kent and a stone-throw away. Idiots out of those towns are all the same. Serious white trash fun out there...what a moron.

Yes, people from the valley tend to be ummm....unique? LOL
I don't think anyone's ever done anything like that here in Burien. Well, we DO have a few thousand VERY senile old ladies that seem to enjoy accidently driving into businesses. Last year alone, it happened SEVEN times that I know of, I'm sure there were more. One lady even took out my dad's restaurant. I think it's some kind of Retired Persons Building Bumpers Association.
Oh yeah, and the owner of a Mexican bakery in town blew up an entire strip mall a few months back because he capped the pressure release valve on the water heater. That damn thing flew 460 feet into a Pizza Hut parking lot. LOL Maybe we do have our share....

Possible urban legend..but
There was a wreck in Santa Cruz CA. where the guy hit either a pole that bent part-way down, or a guy wire, anyway his car ended up on the roof of a gas station. He didn't drive, he flew up there. Poor guy couldn't get off the roof. It was about 12 feet high.

Someone told me this and pointed out the station, but I can't say I saw it.
anyone ever hear about this?
