I don't think there was any curb jumping... and according to the article this is NOT the first auto to end up in this lake, with its steepish incline.

But yes, I agree we're not getting the full story here ;-/.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

It's still, by and large, a much more conservatively-edited newspaper than the rag that the Trib has turned out to be. Each issue seems to have some positive stories about neighborhood happenings, etc.

When I was living in Chi-Town, there were alot of Pakistani MUSLIMS on Devon. Coincidence? ;-)

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Or the fact that the FAA office is in this same complex? Things that make one go "Hmmmmmmm....."

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

"SUV-Eating Lake" alert! :-)

[stylin19a]

no questions about it....the Sun-Times is more conservative than the Trib....I must be in Bizzaro world.

Re: The Daily Herald,
I had a running feud with Mabley
(which dates back to his Daily News days) til he retired, now I'm all over Burt Constable.

Can't give the libs room to breathe

All this talk about PETA and thier disdain for certain vehicles is creating a hostile environment that is beginning to cause worrysome signs in transportation circles.

It's probably too early to consider this an example of mass-transportation hysteria, but it's reached the level where no one can deny that it might be.

If you're vehicle is exhibing any of the warning signs, please don't ignore it.  Reach out before it's too late.  It's a good idea as a normal practice to wash it once a week.  Don't be afraid to vacuum it. Even the occasional wax job is a plus.

These photos reveal as only photos can, what a neglected vehicle might resort to.  Don't let this happen in your family.

   
     
   

Don't wait until something like this happens to take action.  By then it may be too late.  If the day comes when you're yelling "don't jump" at the to of your lungs,
you may never forgive yourself for what happens next.

Bwahahahaha! Good stuff!

"It was a rainy day and a Monday that got one woman down."

LOL, good opening line. Who did that song? the carpenters?

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

That's funny :-). Karen Carpenter recorded "Rainy Days and Mondays" while lying down on pillows in the studio

[jocon307]

LOL! Thanks for checking. I really love the Carpenters, such a sad story about Karen.

You know her SUV did something to deserve it. She's just not admitting it.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Those horrible SUV's get everything they deserve!

[teenyelliott]

I love the evil beasts. I have two.

They haven't run over any liberals yet. Must be defective.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

You have to love this headline, in any event. It sounds like a possible story line for a Sci-Fi movie! :-)

The Attack of the Killer Lake.
The Cockroach That Ate Cincinnati

.... or some such nonsense!

[teenyelliott]

Dang, I never thought of it like that.

What if that lake really is mean, and starts swallowing people next!!!!

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

The environmentalist whackos won't like it when the killer lake (i.e. man-made retention pond) has to be drained and put out of its misery!

[teenyelliott]

The sheeple must be protected.
