Re: how did this driver get stuck?

Nice picture of the Malibu, but those calipers need painting. I can see the nasty brown from here. Should just paint them a nice black, nothing flashy.

Re: how did this driver get stuck?

LOL The funniest thing I have ever seen like this was when someone took a turn at an intersection too fast and hit a power pole. BUT instead of running headlong into the power pole the car managed to travel up the guidewire supporting the pole and came to rest with its rear bumper on the sidewalk and the whole care stuck on the wire. I know someone with me took pictures but sadly I don't have them. The picture below isn't what I saw but it's quite similar.



More pictures

I can just imagine her putting her hand on the back of the passenger seat, looking behind her, and just flooring it while thinking she's in reverse.

Yeah that is a possibility, I once had a gf almost put a car of mine into the front window of Tim Hortons Coffee Shop doing the same thing...

Re: how did this driver get stuck?

I wish I could still find the picture, but on the Acura boards, somebody posted a picture of a Saturn L300. Let me paint the picture for you guys: A group of guys park at the far end of a parking lot, so they don't get door dings... Then there is like two empty stalls, then the rest of the cars.

Saturn L300 outside the parking lot, loses control of their car... Hits the curb or some other obstacle, and goes airborn, sailing into the parking lot... Lands on top of one of the cars at an angle, so that the nose is slammed into the door of another. The three cars that are parked next to each other at the end are unscathed, but the poor car next to them on the other side of the 2 empty stalls (closer to the building) has a Saturn on it's roof.

I wish I still had the photo... It was unbelievable....

Because the douchebag was somehow dumb enough to hit a curb going that quickly?

You mean the Saturn Lady? Who doesn't want to beat the living crap out of her?
