A man takes his taupe Honda on a joyride through SoDo, smashing into everything in sight. From the Seattle Times, which includes this snapshot of the escapade:
The man then drove on to Sixth Avenue South at South Lander Street, where he encountered a Metro van. According to Kay Reeder, who worked nearby, he hit the van, backed up and struck it again.
Reeder said it appeared intentional. “He drove off yelling, ‘Woo hoo!,'” she said, adding that he also thrust his middle finger in the air.
The rest of the story, which begins at Home Depot and ends with the car on fire, is here.
ah feelz reel gud bout mah reel gud fraydum and libbuhtee
I have never understood how some can find joy in striking pedestrians and innocent bystanders.
I was down by there yesterday, and saw the troopers. I thought they were just there hassling the day workers.
Later, when I was trying to get back to my office, I saw how they had sixth blocked off. It was still blocked off when I got off work. What a mess.
Another victim of Seasonal Affective Disorder.
in site or in sight? can’t WAIT for the details on this one.
The cops can’t stop him, he’s on a mission from god.
In an odd way I’m a little jealous of this guy. Hello latent psychotic tendencies, its been a long time.
You certianly couldn’t expect an American made car to last that long.
BTW, why does it matter that it was taupe? Are we to think if the Honda was blue this never would have happened?
This guy is living my ultimate dream. One day, metro vans, one day…..
I -loved- the Seattle map in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Oh, I SO understand how that guy was feeling. Fuck yeah.
@7 “They say taupe is very soothing”
“smashing into everything in sight“
@ 12) I fixed my bleary-eyed typo at 7:15 a.m. Give a fag a break.
I’ve done this many times. Then I turn off the X-Box and go to bed.
That shit aint taupe.
my stepson was at harborzoo emergency when they brought this guy in. they spent a lot of $ to save a crazy fuck.
what color was he?
@17: purportedly hispanic, with a flat-top haircut. why do you ask?
so I can celebrate divershitty
I knew from the headline he wasn’t white
white people say woohoo all the fucking time. it’s the whitest exclamation possible.
Pedestrians still have the right of way in this situation.
@20 – obviously you don’t live anywhere near or in a mexican-majority neighborhood like I do. They say (actually shout) “woo hoo” all the time. They also get super drunk and drive like shit and and have lots of car wrecks and run over people on the sidewalk pretty often too.
By the “headline” I really meant the headline in the P-I that described his actions, not the Stranger’s “woo hoo” headline. Just wanted to clear that up! Celebrate divershitty!
he died at harborview. and he was latino.
I’m glad this asshole is dead
