It seems that Tauruses are everywhere, and this time, they're out to do more than look like a bad Jetsons car concept:
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- An Arkansas man knows what it's like to be a speed bump. He woke up to find a car lying on top of him in bed. Rickey May says "it was something pretty wild to wake up to." May is recovering at a Little Rock hospital from Sunday morning's incident.
Police say Devlon Chandler and his wife were traveling through Pine Bluff when Chandler fell asleep at the wheel. The car left the road, hit a telephone pole, ruptured a gas line and went airborne briefly before crashing through May's wall. As the 1996 Ford Taurus shot across the bed, it rolled May inside his mattress "like a burrito", protecting him from the force of the accident.
A hospital spokeswoman says May is in fair condition, but may lose his right-hand ring finger. The Chandlers were not seriously hurt.

That's an American car for you
How many more ring fingers have to be amputated before we start importing more from Germany and Sweden?
