1. This wouldn't have happened...

if they would have kept a snow shovel in their trunk to dig themselves out of situations like that.

LMAO :silly:

7. Dig first, pull last

There was enough manpower standing around they probably could have pushed it out.

But then again, that's what you get for buying a vehicle without a frame.

2. I sent this to Keith Olberman

I wonder if he will show it :)

3. Boy they sure don't make em like they used to.

:7

6. They sure don't make boys like they used to

ooops. Dingbats.

4. Maybe auto shop should not be an elective class!

I laughed. They sure don't make bumpers like they used to.

5. OMG - I feel so sorry for the poor guy

I know it probably qualifies for a Darwin Award, but you've got to feel some sympathy.

8. I just hope it was not his Mom's car

:(

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. ROTFL!!

Idiots.

I feel sorry for the dudes - that's gonna be expensive, and I wish the guy wouldn't have to suffer from the expense and noteriety.

But on the other hand, some people learn only from really, really dumb mistakes.

Worst of it is, the car could easily have been dug out by those guys in about ten minutes - it wasn't in all that much snow. I've dug cars out of much worse.

10. dig and push

Looks like a little digging and going forward would have been the best bet.
ah to be young and stupid.

11. "Hey! my mom got me this 'Snatch-Strap' for Xmas!"

"I'll get you out of that drift, Dooooooooooooooooood!"

We used chains and Johnny Bee's when I was that age...

13. What a bunch of dopes! Get a freaking shovel, idiots!

In all the time it took them to do that, they could have dug the car out.

By the way, whatever make of car that was, I don't want one. The whole TRUNK ripped off? Ouch.

14. It just BEGS the question,

"Who approved production of a frameless car?"

15. Minimum gas mileage requirements and impact zone

demands in the marketplace.

18. It wasn't hooked up to the suspension

just some plastic, he'd have been lucky if the hook just shattered the connection point

16. Geo Metro

Not a bad little car, good one for teens to learn on. Except this one looks like its teaching days are over.

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. Oh, I don't know about that . . .

I'd say that little car taught one hell of a lesson, and through passing the video around, continues to teach.

it might be :evilgrin: of me to say so, but it's true.

19. Try a D-9 Cat!
