The verdict?

One fire hydrant, one flower shop, one dog, and nineteen cars, not
including his own (I omitted pictures of four cars with minor damage).

The driver, I found out later, was drunk, from Texas, and had only one arm.

At this point, I tried to go back to sleep.
seriously WTF?

At least most of the cars involved were imports, I think he deserves a medal for import kills.

the answer to that was 17... but he only showed 14 cars... bc three had very minor damage

That's messed up. The guy must have went haywire or something. You don't hit all those cars during a drunken accident, when you've only got one wheel helping steer.

I am glad I lived down in I.B. when I was in San Diego, P.B. was just way to crowded with bars and houses. But as you can tell from the pics, just about anyone can have alot of fun there, even a one armed man. I give him props for the excellent vehicle control he displayed. I now understand why I get so much **** in the military for being born and raised in Texas. God bless our one arm bandits. Wheres my dog??? Have you seen my dog???

I saw something like that not to long ago. Except it was only 4 cars and they were all pushed up about 4 feet on to the side walks. And this is just outside Downtown Chicago. I wish I had taken pictures.
