Car owners take their vehicles everywhere -- from city streets to open roads; from parking garages to forest tracks and desert sands. But some drivers are a little more -- shall we say -- "creative" than that. We would love to have been listening in on the conversations these 15 drivers had with their auto insurance agents.
|
1. Car on Apartment Roof
A thief in Fresno, California stole a car and somehow managed to drive it onto the roof of this apartment complex.
|
|
 2. Corvette under 18-Wheeler
Apparently, the semi driver couldn't see the 'Vette before he shoved his rig into reverse.
|
|
 3. Sedan Balances Between Two Cars
We think the rear car slammed into the back of the damaged sedan -- but we really can't explain the physics behind this accident.
|
|
 4. Car Perched Between Shore and Yacht
Evidently, the driver overran the white blocks in the parking lot and was "lucky" that the yacht was moored there.
|
|
 5. Car Wedged Into Parking Garage Ceiling
A high-speed crash in a parking garage results in… this? (And how did the car on the right remain undamaged?)
|
|
 6. Car Dangles From Telephone Wires
Imagine how much "air" this car had to have caught to snag the telephone wire (and how strong the wires themselves are).
|
|
 7. Pickup Truck Shares Parking Spot
Here's another smushed sports car; apparently the pickup truck driver didn't know that the garage was already occupied.
|
|
 8. Car Perched on Guardrail Over Drop
Somebody tried to catapult into the parking structure and was just a little short (but is very thankful for that strong guardrail).
|
|
 9. Car Balances Atop Car
We only know two things about this mishap: that it took place in Turkey, and that both drivers were women.
|
|
 10. Car Stuck On Parking Lot Rock
Sometimes, you can get away with driving over a rectangular parking block; but not a small boulder.
|
|
 11. Tide Trumps SUV
Someone on Australia's Fraser Island wanted a beachfront spot close to the water -- which was great until the tide came in.
|
|
 12. Sloping Station Wagon
It looks like the car dropped from the tree like an acorn -- but we suspect that the driver accelerated in reverse really fast.
|
|
 13. Pickup with Camper Atop Luxury Sedan
Did the pickup try to park on top of the sedan -- or did the car attempt to park under the truck?
|
|
 14. Car Through Gymnasium Wall
It looks like someone is going to have to pay the janitors overtime to clean this mess up.
|
|
15. Lamborghini in Basement
 The good news is, a guy took 10 years to build a complete Lamborghini from scratch in his basement. The bad news is, he hadn't thought about getting it out of there (so crews had to break through the foundation and tunnel into his basement).
