What amazes me ( well maybe not as she is American ) is how they expect to get it back out of the bag . That's the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that we all make mistakes from time to time, and that sometimes we don't know which side the filler's on if the car is unfamiliar ... but I struggle to understand how anyone that stupid actually gets through any part of everyday life. Or even how anyone can be that stupid. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that would be an interesting story to tell to the insurance company, especially with evidence all over the internet! They used to be a few going around in Melbourne, but very few to be seen lately. The exceptions seem to be stretched limo versions, which I assume have to be kept going longer to earn their modification costs. I'm sure there's a good reason - over priced American crap comes to mind! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's a good reason - over priced American crap comes to mind! I have seen one locally stretched to about three times its length. Its been 'caught' on a hump back bridge at least twice (different bridge each time). I can understand an ordinary car being stretched but when you consider what a Hummer is designed for a stretched one is beyond all reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
