Back when PCs actually used to compete against Macs, we were always wondering who would surface to the top of the shuffle as king of the computing world. Now that Mac has sufficiently given PC companies the beat-down, it has moved on to its next battle for dominance: taking on the evil SUVs that roam the earth.

As reported by our personal fave Parker Howell, a woman was hit by one of these demon cars while riding her bike down Alder. While she broke many bones and was fairly shaken up by the incident, she is only alive to tell the story today by the grace of her new mac: “… a burgundy GMC Yukon slammed into her, sending Layton rolling across its hood and into the air. She landed on the street, her newly purchased Macintosh laptop cushioning her face as it hit the pavement. She feared for her life.”

As Layton describes the incident, “That’s when the enormous Suburban death vehicle came, and I realized she wasn’t stopping … I had my computer and my purse on my back. My computer flew around and hit my face just as I hit the ground, so that kind of saved me because I had a padded computer case.” Amen!

And if there was any remaining doubt about who won this round, Layton’s friend put down the final blow: “She was screaming, crying, as I would be if I got hit by a SUV.”

Mac: 1 Sport Utility death Vehicle: 0
