Rubber Up, Shiny Down

I’ve been going a little crazy waiting to hear back on a job interview I had last week, so I went out for a little clear-my-head putt yesterday afternoon. I was riding the closest twisty road to where I live — Mulholland Drive overlooking the San Fernando Valley, host to dozens of makeout sites used by thousands of high-schoolers over the years (myself included) — when I came across this:

It had just happened when I went by, and by the time I circled back for pictures the ambulance had arrived. I don’t think anyone was too badly hurt.

I’m posting it because it illustrates perfectly the truth behind my blog’s slogan, “Shiny up, rubber down. It just works better that way.” As you can see, the reverse doesn’t work so well. Remember that the next time you decide to get all agro in the corners in your PT Cruiser.
