"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!
