Over the weekend the spiny orbs buried cars and piled up against the sides of houses as an unusual storm swept the region with dust and snow. And tumbleweeds. They’re still digging out.

    Annoying as they are, there are few pleasures like hitting a tumbleweed with your car. They explode in the most satisfying way.

      A tumbleweed killed my parents car. Seriously, it hit a sensor just right and they ended up needing to get it towed to a shop to clean it out to clear the sensor code.

        Sounds like bad car design.

          IDK, Lexus is pretty well respected. I guess they just don’t have many Tumbleweeds in Japan…

        Pro tip: Get an $8 BT plugin for the car computer. Read and clear your own codes, among other things.
