A Kid Decided to Take Out Two of My Herd Today

We were getting ready to leave for dinner and the wife said she heard a noise outside. As she was going to the door, there was a light knock. She answered and said I needed to come outside. Since she introduces me to every salesperson that comes to the door, I wasn't happy. Upon looking outside, here's what I saw. I think the 560 maybe totaled.

And they griped about a burnout video!

But seriously, that sucks. Dude must have been booking, because, he took a 4500lb car over a curb, using foil wrap. Anyone *****ing at you about too many cars on the road?

Is that debris in his door the CE's bumper?

Wow ... I'm sorry Kevin. At least no people were hurt.

What happened????? Did he go through the yard across the street? Where did the pine branches in the street come from?

Damn, he was moving to push the 560 that far....



The 560 looks like a total, as it looks like the smasher smased it at the right angle.


Poor CE. Looks like it got a booboo.

That's the CE'S bumper hanging on his Honda. I live on a Cul de Sac. He was was hauling ass, took a left into my road, went through the yard across the street and into my cars. The CE was pushed into the grease car, but I don't think it damaged it. I've already called his insurance and filed a claim. They freaked when I filed for three cars. The wife said it was ok to cry.

I agree.

I hope insurance makes it right for you without any hassles.

I feel your pain, buddy!

I used to live on a hill....come to think of it I do now too....but before it was a really steep one....(now too)....

One day after a snow a young fellow in a Jeep came charging down the hill next to my house and when he tried to stop locked it up and slid into one of my cars parked on the street....and as I watched in horror tried to get away and backed up into my other car....

Yipes!

I went out and collared him and called his boss and ended up getting cash to fix my cars out of the deal.

But if I had not been aware of it he probably would have taken out the entire side of both cars!

I just showed my kids the pics and they were saying "why did that kid hit your car, daddy?" My oldest said the "toy car" still looked very good... sorry about the loss. Many parts will love on I hope. If I recall correctly the sale price and replacement value was around $18K....

NO F****** WAY You must have shown some serious restraint not to yell his ears off. I can't even imagine what I would do.

What did the police report say?
