    Drunk + Ford + Bus stop = fun at work

    I hope to get pictures Thursday.

    In front of the dealership I work at is a bus stop. The bus stop actually sits between us and a Cadillac dealership. The bus stop is set back from the sidewalk and has a bench, full canopy, garbage can, and fire hydrant. Next to the Bus stop was a 3 foot high brick wall the separated our dealership from the caddy dealership.

    Saturday night I left work with the bus stop intact. Sunday morning I arrive at work to find the streets wet even though it did not rain. Strange. Then I noticed the bus stop. It looked like a bomb hit it! There was bent metal everywhere. The brick wall was no more. Ford pickup parts were laying all over the street and in the Cadillac lot. The garbage basket wash crushed like a soda can. The bolts that held the bus stop to the ground were stripped out and bent. The pavement was burnt from where wires that lighted the bus stop billboards touched and shorted out. Oh yeah, the fire hydrant was torn straight from the ground and flew into the side of a new Escalade. There was vomit all over the Cadillac lot. No skid marks anywhere.

    We still are not sure what happened, but this is what we think:

    A drunk driver coming the opposite was crossed into on coming traffic, hit the curb, went into the bus stop, through the brick wall, and knocking the fire hydrant into the Escalade. The diver was not harmed, got out of the car, and started puking. Meanwhile the uprooted fire hydrant caused an eruption of water.

    Oh yeah, the actual bench was torn from the pavement, but was the only part of the bus stop still usable. The firefighters tossed it in the middle of the sidewalk. The worthless cocksuckers who ride the bus still sit on it. I find that hilarious.

    Never a dull moment...I just wish I could have seem it happen.

    Maybe Ford got so deperate that they're taking after Muslin extremists and sending suicide bombers after their rivals. But being Ford, no wonder they caused little damage to a Cadillac and none to any BMWs.

          It's possible the accident was so ugly, the puke was from the emergency workers. I mean destorying a heavy duty metal building and crashing through a brick wall without even tapping the brakes could easily be a death sentance. It takes a lot of force to strip a cast iron fire hydrant from the ground and send it flying into an Escalade.

          Some of the leftover parts were interior pieces from the Ford truck so the truck has to be totalled.

            actually fire hydrants are designed to shear of with relativley little force in the same fashion as light posts and cast iron SUCKS on sudden impact it just shatters...

                      Fuck, they cleaned it all up. :( I went back for pics last night and everything was removed. The fire hydrant was reattached and the brick wall was already rebuilt. Fuck!
