Get a Better Car, Haley

Seems that the Sixth Sense kid, actor Haley Joel Osment, has grown up and finally made the Hollywood headlines the old-fashioned way: He got into a car accident around 1 a.m. this morning driving around La Canada-Flintridge and landed in the hospital.
According to an Associated Press story:
[Osment] was driving a 1995 Saturn about 1 a.m. when the car collided with a brick pillar and flipped, said Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Greg Sisneros.The 18-year-old actor was awake and talking following the crash, Sisneros said. He had been alone in the car and was taken to Huntington Hospital in nearby Pasadena.
Now, there's no information on what the cause of the accident was, so we're not going to speculate about any "former child-actor" curse yet. But we will totally fault Osment with driving a piece of crap car (we know from experience).
A 1995 Saturn? Dude, you must have some Sixth Sense dough left over, right?

More power to him for driving that car! Hes young, doesnt have a lot of driving experience, and hey- think of the tragedy if he had wrecked some ridic expensive "movie star kid" sports car. Shame on you for insulting the car! Saturns are fine. Its refreshing to hear he drives (drove) one.

Sounds like it was at least a safe car in a rollover ... (but yeah, the mention of the car kind of jumped out at me too)
