We see a lot of weird, sometimes funny stuff on our nation's streets and highways, but we usually don't feel compared to share any of it with you. Until today. Wednesday, March 3 was a cool, dry day in southeast Michigan, so we weren't expecting any significant traffic backups on our way home. But sometimes that's precisely when the most interesting situations unfold.​

Hit the jump to see the end-game of what had to be a really odd incident. It involves a 15-foot hill, a Herculean pine tree and a very determined "Wide Track" Pontiac Grand Prix going all "Dukes of Hazard" on unsuspecting passers-by. We have no idea how this happened and we're hoping nobody was injured, but at the same time we're showing this video to any teenagers who think texting and driving is a good idea. Please forgive us for the iPhone-quality video and the AM soundtrack, but we feel this is definitely worth your time.

I can't figure out what kind of car they are driving and it's driving me nuts. Not the pontiac in the tree the car the flimer is driving. I'm guessing it's not a M-B like that one guy guessed. And I don't think from that A-pillar it's a volvo. I have a civic and I've had the previous generation but I don't have the current generation so I don't know for sure but I doubt it's a civic like that other guy guessed. I keep thinking Vibe Matrix or Mazda3 but I don't think I'm right on those either... Sorry I realize this is an "educational film" but it became a guessing game for me.

Nope not vibe/matirx or Mazda 3.... hmmm...

Actually it could be the s40 or C30 volvo.... And they do come with a very square side view mirror. hmmm... Vovlo has gotten a lot better body lines. Not the V50 dash would need to round out at the outer edge.

Okay my guess is a 2008 Volvo C30 premium no nav model. Final Answer.

Am I a millionare?
