Q: Name the only car to ever go over the side of the Mackinaw Bridge, crashing into the water 200 feet below?

A: You got it — Yugo.

Yes, but intentional pushing of a vehicle off the bridge doesn't count.

Pushing a Yugo off a high bridge into a deep river or lake should merit a special award for service to mankind.

No, the lady got scared (my wife gets scared on that bridge too — it’s fun to say, “Hey hon, look at that little boat down there!”), hit the rail, and hit the gas instead of the brake. It climbed right over the curb, over the walkway, and over the rail (wind assisted, of course).
