1. she should be able to keep the car, at least. n/t

[Liberal_in_LA]

4. Its got front end damage

[Warpy]

6. Then she should leave it there as a decoration

and a caution about excessive speed, drunk driving, and all the other ways it could be misinterpreted.

Then again, every teenager in town would try to duplicate the stunt, "hold my beer and watch this!"

13. That's pretty minor damage.

It needs a new bumper wrap and the right front quarter panel. Can't see but it's a safe bet it also needs a left. Frame doesn't appear to be bent, the front axle appears to be miraculously intact.

Pretty cheap repair. Nowhere near the value of the car.

20. For the car driver...

... Not so much for the homeowner. Actually, the car driver's insurance will probably be buying a new roof for the homeowner.

TYY

2. Are they bringing Home Improvement back?

Tim! Tim! Look out, Tim!

3. my Mustang makes me misbehave.

too much car for grandma!

[B Calm]

5. Is that a cave home?

[Liberal_in_LA]

18. Looks like two level lawn. Back lawn level with the roof.

[lame54]

7. Why doesn't Billy Joel just take a limo?

[Glassunion]

16. Ha!

8. My sister suffered a similar experience.

The car was shredded and landed upside down on her front porch. Everyone inside the car was dead or very soon dead. None made it to the trauma center alive.

Cars suck.

Beyond that, try not to live downhill from a highway, and never drink and drive.

My sister is of course, in family tradition, a freak. That's when she decided to be a paramedic.

[valerief]

9. Man, that place need a strong metal fence. nt

[Frustratedlady]

10. Looks like a fairly new roof, too. eom

[Kingofalldems]

11. I hate it when that happens.

[Eleanors38]

12. But, aren't mustangs high jumpers?

[jmowreader]

14. From the looks of that second picture, that wouldn't have been hard to do

I can just hear the LIEbertarians now..."it wasn't MY fault your house was in front of my car!"

[Bucky]

15. and before the boom, there was this growing "YeeeEEE-HAWWW!!!"

"just some good ol' boys..."

[1939]

17. Police report

said driver suffered a medical problem which could have been a stroke, diabetic coma, heart attack, or something else incapacitating.

[pintobean]

32. Pretty sure that's a joke

[lpbk2713]

19. Driver was asked "How did you get there?"

Ans: "Well I took a left at the chimney" .


Nah

[alcibiades_mystery]

21. Yo, that shit happens to me all the time, tho

Fuh rilla.

[npk]

22. I am surprised the roof didn't collapse

I mean that is impressive right.

[NutmegYankee]

27. Typically a Northern roof is designed for a load of 40 lbs per square foot or so. (Or more)

This is for snow and ice loads. Given the car size and truss framing, it's not that surprising it didn't collapse.

[Warren DeMontague]

23. Thanks a FUCKING WHOLE HELL OF A LOT, OPRAH.

Why do you think we wanted to keep "the secret" a secret? Now it's not a secret, and look what happens. Now every random gherkin in your book club can use the ancient illuminati understanding of quantum linked consciousness reality manipulation to manifest new cars willy-nilly.

WE WARNED YOU, but did you listen? Noooooooooooo. Nice Job.

[Snobblevitch]

24. The first car I ever bought was a 1966 Mustang convertible.

I was 17 and and I thought I was a badass. (Well, to be honest, I was. I was 6'3" and about 200#).

I bought the car in March of my junior year in high school and drove it all summer.

That was my best summer to date. I foolishly traded that car for a motorcycle a year later. (This was in the 80s).

I wish I had the VIN that car so I could buy it back.

[Ghost in the Machine]

25. Manna from Heaven!!!! Almighty FSM, with all your noodelly wisdom, may you find me worthy of

finding either a 1969 Camaro 396 SS, or a 2015 Dodge Challenger 426 Hemi/426 HP in my front yard tomorrow! rAmen!

[Scootaloo]

26. I started the article expecting to read the words "hey y'all watch this!"

[Recursion]

30. Ah, you beat me to it (nt)

[Recursion]

29. I will eat my fedora if nobody said "hey, watch this!" (nt)
