I've seen various modifiers, such as "driveway", which makes me
suspect a health event.  When you've driven a VW as long as Bob had (I
drove a Renault Dauphine for about 8 years) you don't casually swap
ends.  Sounds like health "event", dead at wheel, miss turn, hit
tree... nothing otherwise makes sense.

I love to cook with wine.     Sometimes I even put it in the food.
