Now so long as they don't eff up the sections of the line that are in the middle of the road.

It's happening guys! Drivers are rebelling against the war on cars!

I think this should be pitched as Crosstown already converting one driver to the merits of underground LRT on Eglinton...she just couldn't wait until it opened!

The traffic was so bad she thought she could bypass it by driving in the tunnels

Can't you see that the car, aware of the mortal threat to it and other vehicles' existence posed by the LRT, suddenly decided to make the ultimate sacrifice in an attempt to slow down the Crosstown line?

... In fact, it was a carmakazi attack.

*boom tish*

I'm here all week.

Reminds me of this

I like to think that the driver thought that he was going on the long ago cancelled Spadina Expressway. Incidentally the entrance to the streetcar tunnel on Spadina is exactly where the onramp to the Spadina Expressway would have been

Drivers are doing their best to make living hell out of anything that's not a subway.

 

[TheTigerMaster]

I wouldn't mind if RoFo got his SUV stuck in an active subway tunnel.

Okay not really. I'm not that evil.

The car video is amazing.

 

[TheTigerMaster]

That tunnel is LONG. You'd think that once they hit the unpaved segment going into the tunnel they'd reverse or at least stop the vehicle.

I suppose it could have been very difficult for them to reverse from the tracks onto the paved section with that steep a grade. But why the heck would they keep on going, damaging their car even more. I'd stop and call a tow truck.
