Question How did this camry get here???

I wanted to take a picture of the Hyundai dealership to show how crummy it looks if they're considering upscaling, but found this instead.
It's boarded up now so there wouldn't be any rubbernecker or distraction.
I have no idea how this driver did it (drifting or just hungry for the $5 foot long), but the so'calers can see it (corner of GG Blvd and Brookhurst).

Oh that building is a bank and there's still people working there.

Exactly.

It was a personal attack gone wrong, you can clearly see the younger accomplice in black fleeing the scene.

Since the building is a bank, they might (?) have threatened a car-loan repo, and got one......the hard way

That driver needs an evaluation of his visual acuity. I would say its a bit less than 20/20

I recognized the building immediately. Though I'm not surprised at all. Brookhurst is near the top of my 'do not like' list as far as streets are concerned

Since it's a bank, he's obviously using the drive-thru....
