"Only in California".

There are so many weird things in this photo, it's hard to decide where to start. I mean, first off we've got the Sonny Bono Memorial Freeway. I'm sure Sonny was a great guy, animal lover, maybe even a philanthropist. But a Memorial Freeway?

Then there's the ridiculous wind turbines covering the hills in the background. If there's a better poster-child for the stereotypical Californian I-want-to-have-it-all-but-I-want-to-feel-good-about-it Rube Goldberg solution; why...it would have to be the Crosstour!

Selfishly, he wouldn't Cher.

Oh Bono! Not U2?

technetium99 says:

07:01 AM, 03/ 5/10

Honey, the Nav says to stay on this road for 7.1 miles, make a turn onto Shields & Yarnell Way, then to Captain and Tenille Avenue.

technetium99 says:

07:02 AM, 03/ 5/10

The Sonny Bono Highway. It has only right turns.

gmanaed says:

07:03 AM, 03/ 5/10

If you look closely you can see where it used to intersect the "Cher" the Wind Parkway just ahead...

e90_m3 says:

07:10 AM, 03/ 5/10

Yeah, Sunny Bono's rolling in his grave, in case you're wondering

Cher, Phil Spector, and now Crosstour? Sonny just couldn't get a break

What do you call Sonny, Cher, and Mimi Rogers in a Crosstour? Loveboat

What's white and has a 5-star crash rating? Hint: it's not Sonny.

greenpiece says:

09:27 AM, 03/ 5/10

Even more than 40 years later, Cher continues to ride Sonny all the way to Hollywood.

greenpiece says:

09:32 AM, 03/ 5/10

An appropriate spot to inaugurate California's new Ride-Cher program.

technetium99 says:

09:47 AM, 03/ 5/10

You came in that? You're braver than I thought.

stovt001 says:

09:56 AM, 03/ 5/10

The question of "Why?" has never been so relevant.

Fun fact number 23: This car is taller than Sonny Bono.

misterfusion says:

12:40 PM, 03/ 5/10

Wow, tough room today -- especially for winter recreational accident victims! But I LOL'd. I think we all know by now that you should just establish a standalone category for ergsum.

Once that is out of the way, my vote is for wshuff: "Chastity wagon!"

ergsum says:

12:45 PM, 03/ 5/10

@technetium99, man that is weird, I originally had my Fun Fact numbered as 23 but changed it to 14 before I submitted it.

cz75 says:

The beat(ings) go on.

technetium99 says:

02:13 PM, 03/ 5/10

Who is on the Sonny Bono Highway? Gypsys, tramps, and...Crosstours?

rick8365 says:

03:17 PM, 03/ 5/10

Sonny hits a tree, Dan hits Sonny's highway, the Crosstour takes some hits.....the beat goes on.

actualsize says:

03:18 PM, 03/ 5/10

If he'd only listened to that wise sage, George of the Jungle.

rick8365 says:

03:37 PM, 03/ 5/10

Sonny hits a tree, Dan hits Sonny's highway......Honda design hits a wall.
