LOL: Bear Takes Corolla On Test Drive And Leaves Opinion In Drivers Seat

A hungry bear in Larkspur, Colorado broke into an empty car Friday and attempted to escape with both a peanut butter sandwich and the 2008 Toyota Corolla. The bear apparently couldn’t get out of the car and panicked - knocking the automatic transmission into neutral in the process.




The car then rolled down a steep drive and crashed into thick undergrowth about 125 yards from Ben Story’s family home. At some point prior to the impact the bear must have regained his sense of composure as he turned the four-way flashers on and sounded the horn a number of times as the car rolled down the hill backwards.

That will teach him to leave a peanut butter sandwich unattended.

Well if the keys were in the car it "could" be considered unintended acceleration, but in this case it is safe to assume otherwise.

Whatever happened to putting your foot on the brake to take it out of park?

Tomorrow, there will be 140 kids who own Corolla's in northern states leaving PB&J sandwiches in their cars hoping to get rid of their cars the same way...

Bears are a lot smarter than one would think, now he could buy a Civic or something else that performs better. I also share this bears opinion.

Indeed, bears are very useful animals.

Save the bears.
