Toyotafest was last weekend so a lot of vintage and current gen Toyotas (and MKV's) were out and about. As JNC states, so were the "real Supras" too.How did he have one is my question?
That still doesn't make much sense. Long Beach is a good 3 hours or more from Palm Desert. I live fairly close to Palm Desert, and the only car centric thing there is the Thermal racetrack.Toyotafest was last weekend so a lot of vintage and current gen Toyotas (and MKV's) were out and about.

When did the Toyotafest event end? Based on the info in Guff's post, the crash occurred at roughly ~2:00 a.m. The driver was possibly traveling home from Toyotafest or traveling home from an after-Toyotafest-event. ....Or perhaps there is no relationship between the accident and Toyotafest.That still doesn't make much sense.

A lot of pre-production (in camo) cars conduct testing in Palm Springs. 2 months ago, there were MKV's at the SEMA garage for measurements. Just because it's a 19 yr old who died doesn't mean it has to make sense.That still doesn't make much sense. Long Beach is a good 3 hours or more from Palm Desert.

Exactly, I'm not saying there's a direct correlation but MKV's are starting to arrive and someone needs to drive them to and from events. I started to see MKIV and MKV pics in parking garages and around town on IG the Friday before Toyotafest.When did the Toyotafest event end?

Technically, it's a superposition of both until we open the box and see the cat.

Hopefully you all can identify what that car is
-This accident is true. Isaac fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into the light pole. Whether he was speeding or fell asleep which caused his foot to push down on the accelerator or both, I have no clue. But I can confirm she was taken to the hospital and released because they are/were my renters. She is lucky to be alive, but she is injured and will take a long time to heal physically, mentally & emotionally. They only had the car for a very short while, maybe a month or so. I never asked where he purchased it.That makes absolutely no sense. The accident was so severe that the drive dies but the passenger walks away with minor bruises,"When Cathedral City Fire Department paramedics arrived, they pronounced Gallardo had dead at the scene, but transported a 20-year-old Cathedral City woman with him to the hospital. She was treated briefly and released."
"Had dead...." not a real journalist with that kind of report lol. I call it bs

+1 A stationary pole and moving object usually result in a deadly outcome. Fortunately, the driver survived and there wasn't a passenger.ToyotaFest is a pretty good show, drove down for it once.
I'm not sure why you guys are arguing that this report sounds bogus because the driver died and the passenger was fine. It quite clearly says he hit a traffic pole. Maybe you haven't seen a lot of accidents involving poles and trees, but they pretty much screw up all the hard work the safety engineers do, as they design car chassis to do well in the most common types of accidents.
Thanks for chiming in. It's very unfortunate and very surreal that it directly affects you. Rest in Peace Isaac and hopefully his girlfriend can make a full recovery sooner then expected.-This accident is true. Isaac fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into the light pole.
