This happened at 11:45pm yesterday 9/23/05. I was passing by the theatre to see what was playing so I could catch a movie today. Well as I was heading toward the exit, I passed over the drain. All of a sudden the car snapped right and before I could even react I was looking at the sky, then the car landed and came to a stop. Moved the cement pieces out of the way so other people wouldn't hit them, but you can see the dust and how far the car went. Right now she's sitting at McCotter Ford Collision and Repair.







(more coming, chill out)

 

(hold your horses, still more)

 

I'm Peeling back the paint where it was bent



(simmah down now, few more)

 

Notice the metal piece with the hole in it, top right corner? That's my A-arm snapped



(Ok, I'm done)

 

Seriously... a parking block?

 

Sure you were only doing 30? How did you not see that?

 

Hitting a parking block tends to snap dinky A-arms…

 

Why are those black 'burn out' stripes on the ground in the same area as your incident?

 

There was no way to like, umm, STOP after you heard something break?

 

Joe, you got AIRBORNE?!?!?! You sure as hell weren't going 30 mph!! Judging from your skid marks, I'd guess closer to 90 (before you locked up the brakes). I hope to God you grow up before you kill yourself.

 

You didnt have enough room to hit 88mph ...



Later,

Haha, that 2nd picture just made me chit myself laughing. Ohhh thats good, thats real good.

But what exactley happened? You hit the end of the block, got airborn, then landed back on the blocks? Or what?

Or am I missing something (only pics up to the first one of the car show up for me)(24K connection, not so good)

 

Your old F150 would have driven over the blocks...

 

Thats fuggin awesome...almost as good as me power braking my old truck into my living room

 

That sucks Joe, I hope your car is better soon.
