I’m thinking Tornado.

No signs of flooding (and the Ferrari would have floated as well).
No signs that the truck came in from the front of the Ferrari.
No signs that it hit the back end (low) of the Ferrari either.

Looks like it was airborne as it entered the garage. Nice scuff across the ceiling, and it took the garage door in with it.

Nice to see it missed the cooler, the scooter and the JR50.
And nice too, that it took the door in under it. Otherwise those tires might have left marks on that nice red paint job.

Do you think someone was trying to run over and crush the Ferrari, with the pick-up and didn't bother to take the ceiling clearance into account, before doing so....? Just kidding.. Had to be a storm of some sort..

The pickup driver was drunk and crashed into the garage landing on top of the Ferrari.

Yes, Barstard, and a Bastard, are the same thing. A Wanker, and a Moronic,@$$hole, are the same thing..

My favorite on is the license plate. That's so friggin' funny. I want to get a vanity plate like that for my girlfriend, and steal that idea..

I think the Ferrari, has much bigger problems than whatever damage the tires on the paint would have done. Though I'm almost certain the insurance fixed the car, the whole thing must have been very traumatizing for the car..It must go to sleep every night with visions of some monstrous F-150, coming in like a swat team, and pinning it down. Poor thing. Gotta be equivelent to a kid, with Monsters in the closet, and under the bed. I hope the owner atleast equipt the garage with a night light..

Really? Ya think?


On a more serious note:
I’d like to have been there when the crew came to remove the truck. If the Ferrari wasn’t totaled already (You seem to feel it wasn‘t. And, I guess I‘d agree, but know little of these things.), I bet the discussions on the removal procedures were interesting. Perhaps they slid the two out together and then lifted the truck off.

I see it as easily going either way:
1. Just grab the truck and pull. The damage is already done. And the insurance will fix whatever.
-or-
2. Let’s approach it like complex surgery. Making sure not to do any more damage to the car than necessary.


Somewhat Transcendental, the rest of your post.

I guess I have again forgotten the little grin smiley there next to the “rolling eyes” smiley. Thus, letting all know that the questions were just a sarcastic little joke not meant to personally slam anyone in any way. I’m sorry. I’ll try not to make that mistake again.
I feel so ashamed.....
