drove through Sears

That's a good place to drive if you don't want to hit anyone. Kudos to the driver for thinking of safety first.

Waiting for the demands for common-sense sedan control.

All drivers should be forced to register their vehicle and have a license!

“after witnesses said a black SUV drove through Sears...”

At least he picked an empty structure.

“...after witnesses said a black SUV drove through Sears.”

IF may be one of the great philosophical questions of out time.

Can one drive a black SUV through Sears if Sears does not exist?

I’ve actually driven through 2 malls. That was the 1970’s.

One mall still exists but that area has totally been redone.

No way they’re going to allow regular people to do that again.

You should see the surprised looks on people’s faces when they step of a store and here comes ........ a car, almost upon them.

Obviously we drove very slow.
