Just sharing another of my long-arse photo-filled blogs for you guys. This one is 42 photos of stupid and fail involving cars.

Is #32 somebody's customer here? Cause I swear I've heard a story like that!

#3 - sweet motor. I want one in the crapmobile.

#10 - I love WRC - just have to bootleg it to see it on this side of the pond.

#11 - Nice Rat Rod

The rest - well, I think they got their license in a crackerjack box.

Gee wiz, those were crazy. Oh and #32, yeah I've seen that several times. I even pulled out the cop that was shopping and showed him one one time (it was actually blocking the ramp to the sidewalk as well) and they got a really nice surprise on their windshield.

I tend to see a lot of cars similar to #29...it's a Miami thing, as for #26 Now THAT'S the way to do tailgate parties and camping trips!

19 is from Top Gear, specifically the one where they were challenged to make amphibious cars. They had to take the mast down to get it under a bridge. And it sank.

#10 is actually a Rally Car. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Peugeot_206_WRC.jpg

#19 - This is better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzxuEOxYSLE

I would like to point out this error of judgement from the Metropolitan Police Service.

#6 looks like it runs sideways based on how the tires are attached . . .look at the front passenger side bumper . . .it is set for the tire to be "sideways"

#25 - Lady is taking the cones to place around her car when she parks - protect her property making sure people see it

#28 The car that only has rear lifted backed up into car on side . . .hit car just right and it rolled to it's side . . .in the process of roll it caught back bumper of other car and lifted it

#2 has to be photshopped. unless it is a very very empty shell of a car. 5000 pounds of weight on those cables and the pole just does not seem like it would hold up. if it is real I believe the force as the car landed on the wires would have snapped the wires and/or the pole

funny though

#2 has to be photshopped.

If it is I would love to meet the person who did it,

The light is the correct direction througout
Both the sky and the car are polarised correctly (which you can't achieve through PS, it's the only filter that you can't add post shot)
The wires twist convincingly
The shadows are correct and in line with the prevailing light
The front wheel is aligned correctly in line with how the car is hanging
The drivers door is aligned correctly in line with how the car is hanging


To get all of this done in one shot requires some serious skills, far in excess of anything I posses or in fact anyone I know.

Same here, at least 1-2 times a month.

I've seen large trees fall on power lines and they still stay up (and even the amount of eright that the lines would support (using the rules of levers and estimating the weight of the tree) would be a LOT more than 5,000 pounds. They're a lot stronger than they look. Plus, there are 3 lines supporting the car, not one.

I don't think it is - I remember reading about that one. The driver hit one of the support cables for the poles (they go up at about a 45 degree angle) and panicked - flooring the gas instead of the break.

Now, what they were doing so close to the support cable, I have no idea.

#24 is Photoshoppsed. Look at the shadow of the building and the car, they're different.

#13 was a real laugh out loud.

[lordlundar]

I could have sworn #2 was an engineering prank. Heck, I've seen more elaborate ones done.

I was wondering that myself. Was that Jeremy or James' car?
