The animal then managed to knock the car into neutral, causing it to roll down the driveway and across the street. The hatch then closed, trapping the animal inside.Īuthorities say the javelina ripped off a portion of the dashboard and the inside of a door in an attempt to escape. The javelina jumped in to get to a bag of Cheetos. Javelinas are pig-like animals that are native to desert environments.Īfter speaking with the car's owner and other residents, they determined the car's hatch back had been left open overnight. A hungry javelina in Arizona ended up going for a drive when it became trapped inside an empty car and bumped it into neutral.ĭeputies in Yavapai County responded to a call last week in Cornville, a community 10 miles (16 kilometers) south of Sedona, about a javelina stuck in a Subaru station wagon. Here’s a pic and video as the saga continues.CORNVILLE, Ariz. That interval must have infuriated the visitor, for the knocking had now gone up the decibel level. It took some time for her as she came out of her trance like a diver jumping out of the depths and desperately craving for the extra air in the lungs. Some cool back ends on these next two Chrysler products.Īnd some Chevy Bel Airs for good measure. The knocking at the door seemed to be distant sound from some other world. I filmed 20 minutes’ worth of banter and it received over 10,000 views in its first 10 days online. I visited in 2018 with my friend Dane, and the video that I captured became quite popular, so I decided to go back and give it another whirl.

It’s a junkyard that was featured as part of a TV series called Desert Car Kings back in 2011. Lastly, I took the chance to pay a visit to “DVAP” – better known as Desert Valley Auto Parts. while I was on top of my step ladder looking like a goofball.

Luckily I only had one neighbor drive by at 6:00 a.m.

I decided to have a little fun bright and early on a Sunday morning and stage my cars in “brochure” fashion like a photo that might have appeared in a 1991 through 1993 full-line pamphlet from Acura, since the 6 cars included there are the full 6 body styles that were available during those years. Shopping at “Tlaquepaque.” We love saying that one. I’m happy to report that our crazy friend did complete his event though. Unfortunately, as the day went on our timelines were crunched and mom had to head back to Utah, and I had to return to Phoenix. The last stop on our weekend tour of the region was a quick jaunt out Highway 260 toward the small town of Pine, where we were anticipating the arrival of a friend who was running a 100-mile (!) race. The rocks were nice and warm, but the water was chilly! We saw a few people tumble to a very wet riverbed in what looked to be painful experiences! The place gets its name from the slippery nature of the Oak Creek’s bed – after years and years of erosion making the surfaces smooth, coupled with mossy deposits, there is some great slipperiness to be enjoyed. On Saturday, after breakfast at Indian Garden (I highly recommend the “ranchero bowl”), we went to Slide Rock State Park, a recreation area just a few miles up Highway 89A from where we were staying. Saturday evening, we dined at Javelina Cantina and then enjoyed the sunset from atop the Airport Mesa. We enjoyed the seclusion and solitude of an Airbnb room about 5 miles up Oak Creek Canyon from the hustle and bustle of the town’s shopping plazas. It was about a 2 hour drive for me on Saturday morning. We met up in one of Arizona’s red-rock gems, the town of Sedona. Mom planned a trip down from southern Utah in her new (to her) 2016 Acura RLX. I have a few fun features to share today.
