After showing the neighborhood kids the release handle in an Audi R8, they now insist on trying out the release handles in the frunks of fancy sports cars when I have review cars.

Did they stomp the gas and cut all the way over to get on the Mopac on ramp? Swear that happens every time at that intersection.

:D I actually refused to let them try it the first couple of cars for that very reason. Made them get permission from their folks before eventually saying yes.

Jaded little buggers didn't even want pictures with the FF because it was a boring color. And for some reason they're not very excited about the new Volt which I'm testing next month.

I find, however, that a man-servant under 5 foot 4 inches will, with some doing, fit quite snugly in the trunk. The sales representative informed me this adds .75 Joules of extra crash absorption!

To be fair, I don't think you need much luggage space in a funeral shuttle which appears to be what they are gunning for.

Not sure what's worse, the tires that have clearly been driven on while very flat, or hitting that post hard enough to slide up and back down.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say this looney tooned itself by ramping off the parking block there. Just enough bounce up to get it's teeth caught on the post.

Would have been a perfect event to capture on video.

That's not a wild guess, that's rather realistic.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's a rust belt explorer and he backed in there until the front bumper caught on it.

I see that a lot on trucks that street park and use the park by feel method.

AAA had showed up right as I got to the store and was waiting for the owner, which I thought strange. I talked to a nearby employee (loving the whole thing) who said the car had been there when he got to work early in the AM. Right before I went into the store, a very disheveled and scared looking teenager showed up with his tight-lipped dad to assist the AAA truck in getting the car off.

Judging by my observations I would surmise that babby's first tipsy late-night beer run ended quickly with mixing up the brake and gas as he pulled into the slot, resulting in a spectacular launch off the chock onto the bollard :v:

The modifications are some terrible poo poo, but I don't blame that guy for parking like that at all, otherwise his turning radius* would keep him trapped the second anyone parked next to him.

This car pretty much wraps back around to awesome again, but ultimately I guess it fits in this thread. Mostly because he chopped the top off a unibody car without any visible bracing. And look at that camber!

What always gets me about that show is just how much body filler they used on EVERY SINGLE CAR.

As far as terrible things go I saw a brand new paper plates Tesla covered in snow. Who buys an 80k car without having any sort of covered parking.
