One Lucky Porsche

It seems like we're somehow sickly drawn to the bad things that happen to our beloved cars. For some reason we can't NOT look. Today I thought I'd highlight a potentially bad situation that somehow managed to not come about.

I ran across these pictures on Thanksgiving Day while looking for a turkey Porsche. I didn't really think much about it until I read the captions.

Imagine this beautiful Porsche sitting safely in it's parking spot…

…when this happened…

Here's what the owner had to say:

yes – they all fell. 8 bikes and one spare frame and wheel -all pulled right out of the multiple studs..luckily the car was at the mechanic that day – I love my mechanic for taking two days!

That is one dang lucky Porsche!

    Ouch, that was close. If modern US houses are like English ones, it's a nightmare trying to get Rawlplugs to hold in the lightweight blocks used for the inner walls.

    That is some crazy good luck. Next time he should secure the bikes a little better.

Should the term "truck" also apply to SUVs?
