Gilbert Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Probably just another BS made-up mass emailing, but the photo looks real enough. I recieved this in an email, this morning. Reportedly, someguys wife accidently goosed the throttle, instead of touching the break, and the following happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Blacksmith Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 The photo could be real, too much detail for most PSers to deal with. I would say that the truck was moving at a good speed for it to climb ontop of the sports car. Probably somthing happend in the street and this was the result. I don't know though, there should be some damage to the left rear of the red car and there isn't any. Was there something in the driveway to launch the truck?

Jeff Matthews Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 The little red car is a Ferrari. That would be grounds for divorce if it happened. It didn't. Look at the ceiling of the garage and the position of the front of the truck. It has already gone down in front after traversing the roof of the car. Imagine it had to cross the roof of the car. There would be no sheetrock on the ceiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m00n Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 My thought was that the car is the culprit, ran through the garage door and went under the truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Was there something in the driveway to launch the truck? Here's how I see it. Ferrari was in garage with garage door CLOSED. Truck came into driveway, hit CLOSED garage door, ripping it out of it's upper mounts. The garage door fell on top of the car, allowing the same door to now become a "ramp" for the truck to climb. As the truck climbed the door on top of the car, it then snagged the door and pulled the door along with it, which is why the garage door seems to be under the truck and not as a "ramp" any more.

Guest " " Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 would expect more ceiling damage if the truck rolled up on the car. car seems awfully dusty where are the bricks from door break looks too clean.....folks run thru garage doors all the time in my area, usally pops a hole in and around the impact area.

oldtimer Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 You may be right Moon. There is a spot on the ceiling that looks like the corner of the truck"s bed hit. For sale: Ferrari, garage kept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picky Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I'm with m00n: The Ferrari hit the truck. That would explain why the right-rear of the truck is bashed in and the left side of the car doesn't look like a truck drove up and over it.

st. patrick Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 i gotta agree with coytee. Look on the right edge of photo and you will see the cripples and header to which the aluminum garage door was attached pre-impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st. patrick Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 wonder what happened to the right rear tail light on the blue truck ? ya know, in the big picture of things, guess my spouse isn't such a bad driver after all . . . . . . . and none of us have much to complain about . . . . and if he was in there listening to vinyl, it sure skipped a few grooves.

Jeff Matthews Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 m00n's right. At first, I thought fake. There's no way truck could have rolled over cab of car without ripping all the sheetrock off ceiling. Look how close cab of truck is to ceiling while sitting in its lower, resting position. But if car goes through door and under truck real fast, then truck has less forward movement. Also explains why right rear tail light on truck is damaged.

capo72 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 The truck could have hit any number of things, on its way to the door, that could have knocked out the tail light. Maybe there was a Porsche or Mercedes in the driveway that the truck nailed before ripping down the door and driving up on top of the Ferrari.

Daddy Dee Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 capo is right about the Arkansas tags. Looks real enough to me. I think the truck ran over the car. Could it have been airborne before coming to rest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 How did the truck travel a few feet over the roof of the car and not take all the sheetrock off the ceiling? Sitting a few feet lower over the hood, it still is only a matter of inches from the ceiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
