Tiger Woods injured in car crash

Tiger Woods was involved in an auto accident. From WESH NBC Orlando:

The Florida Highway Patrol said Woods was injured in the crash, which took place at about 2:30 a.m., and was taken to Health Central Hospital. The Orange County Fire Department confirmed that a patient was taken to Health Central, but would not confirm that the patient was Woods.

A source told WESH 2 News that Woods has been treated for facial lacerations.

Woods was driving a 2009 black Cadillac Escalade when he lost control and hit a fire hydrant outside his home and a tree outside his neighbor’s home, FHP said.

FHP said the crash is still under investigation. It said alcohol did not play a role in the crash, but that charges are pending.

Isn’t Woods a spokesman for Buick? Why then wasn’t he behind the wheel of a Buick? Granted, Buick and Cadillac are both brands owned by General Motors, but Woods only appears in commercials for Buick.

How does someone crash into a fire hydrant and then a tree at 2:30 a.m. and not be drunk while doing it? Can a sober person even do that? If anything, being sober while unleashing all that vehicular chaos is even worse if you aren’t drunk.

I’m pretty sure he was drunk. He had to be.

The American auto industry sucks

With all the talk of General Motors needing a bailout from the federal government just to stay afloat, I had to laugh when I read the following:

Despite the down economy, falling gas prices have driven consumers back to the sport utility vehicles they once gave the cold shoulder.

Workers at General Motor’s Arlington, Texas, SUV assembly plant began working overtime this month and are scheduled to remain on overtime for the rest of the year.

The plant, which employs 2,500 workers, is now the only GM factory building full-size sport utility vehicles like the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade.

The minute gas prices fall back to somewhat reasonable levels, GM responds by cranking out the Escalades. One of the reasons GM is facing bankruptcy is because of the vehicles it chooses to produce, mainly gas guzzling behemoths. Vehicles like the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade.

If the auto industry needs a bailout, let the oil industry bail them out. The American auto industry helped Big Oil generate massive profits by refusing to produce energy efficient vehicles.
